Thanks! Yes it's the 1st gen coil overs. As far as I know they aren't sold anymore, I got lucky and purchased from a fellow member

Car looks great down low. No more 4x4 look for you. Is your muffler hanging kinda funny, never saw saw one sitting that low. I bet your car is a beast after adding LT's and a tune.

Oh yeah no more off roading lol the muffler on the left side is hanging a little different than the right side..just needs to be angled slightly. It looks more prominent in the pics but in person you can tell unless you stare at it a lot...like me lol

And it's amazing how LTs and a tune can absolutely change a car 100%

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, but do you still have the appropriate suspension travel sitting that low?

This looks awesome. I am in the process of doing the same mods. Pfadt featherlights and 345 out back. Just in the process of mini tubbing.

Do you have a mini tub?

looks good. I put the featherlites on mine, they handle real well. No experience with the 1st gen, but have several friends that have them and are happy.

Why are your mufflers hanging so low?

I put LG long tubes on this winter and had a tune done as well. It really woke my car up. I also have a Calloway honker CAI on her as well.

Needs some more tweaking to the fitment, the pic angle isn't helping matters too lol

Sounds awesome! Nope no mini tub here..I previously had Kuhmos at a 335 and they fit nicely and so do the michelins..no need to tub it because it tucks pretty well...luckily lol

I'm not sure the exact question..in regards to handling? The car with the coils along with an alignment handles much better than ever. I'd think if it was just dropped on stock bolts or what have you I'd run in to some problems. Otherwise good to go!
