Well, I think I'm all done with exterior mods. Special thanks to Matt at Crossroadz direct for all of his service. Now it's time for engine mods and a good stereo.

You probably set the jpeg compression too high when saving? Or possibly saved it multiple times as a jpeg which is a no no.

Just a couple of guesses.

Thanks everyone. I'm really liking it. Much less body roll, handles better, no regrets.

Wes, no camber plates or anything else. Alignment shop was able to get it aligned with no other parts needed.

Doug, thanks for computer suggestions. I'll dink around with the compression next time.

Jerrod, it's the Pro Kit.

Looks good man... seems like most people are going with the pro kit. Is that what was recommended or did you feel the sportline would be to aggresive? Too much of a drop? Didn't want to adjust the camber?

Looks good. is your rear end offset now? I heard you need an adjustable panhard bar to correct it in the fact that it shifts to the left i beleive after lowering.

That looks really good! Are those the stock Bullitts or are those 18s? Tires look sweet too!

Thanks again. I thought the car was a real head turner before the mods, now it's a jaw dropper.

To answer the questions:

I thought the pro kit would be just fine, Sportline a little too aggressive. Now that I have it done, I wouldn't have minded another 1/2" lower on the rear. I'm real happy with it though.

If the rear is offset I can't tell, but to tell you the truth I haven't specifically looked for it. I've walked completely around it several dozen times and I haven't noticed it.

The wheels/tires are aftermarket 18's wearing BFG 255/45's.
