After seeing that I really need to get my suspension installed. Great pics.

Well I have only been driving with it for a day. However, what i can say is that its worlds different from stock. It just takes turns amazing like it knows exactly how you want it to go and works with you. Compared to stock well... even with the brembo/track pack the suspension felt sooooooo.... stock? Stock was stiff and boring. I like I can feel the car more now. And the springs are the perfect drop in my opinion not to low where its gonna hit anything and not to high like stock was. Has the stance I wanted.

That looks great. You have one of my favorite 13' models on the forum sir. I'm saving for H&R coils.

Looks awesome! Only problem now is that the angle of your LCAs are opposite what they should be. They need to be lower on the axle end, or at least horizontal. LCA Relocation Brackets are needed if you do any racing.

I have BBR LCA installed... what do you mean they are opposite?

I'm referring to the angle of your LCAs after you lowered your pony with lowering springs. The resulting angle is opposite what they should be. Notice on the closeup side view photo where you can see your BBR LCA through the wheel, where you can see the end of your LCA that attaches to the axle, that it is higher than the end that attaches to the chasis. On an unlowered car, the end that connects the chasis will be higher, sloping slightly downward toward the axle. Yours are opposite. That's all I'm saying.

beautiful car, you are really killing me with how good it looks...I must have changed my mind about DIB or sterling gray about 3x a day and went with DIB, but that gray with black wheels just looks gnarly!

main takeaway from this thread: i need to get my frickin car lowered STAT! haha

Spacers should do the trick no problem. You don't want to break a LCA when in a hard corner on a track or bumpy road under load. That would be pretty dramatic and expensive.

It's not something a shop did wrong. It's just the result of lowering. There's nothing unsafe. However, it will keep your car from launching well if you go to the dragstrip. As is, you car will likely squat excessively during a hard launch. If don't race, then the only thing you may feel is a little extra harshness driving over bumps. Correcting the angle of the LCAs can accomplished by installing LCA relocation brackets.
