The car looks great. You really did a nice job with the ride height and you did an even better job with the very helpfull write up. I hope some of the apprehensive people about cutting springs will take the time to read it. It should take a lot of the mystry out. Good job! Thanks.

Default Looks Great.

That looks great. I was wondering do you have any problems with the car bottoming out now that you have lowered it. I jhave always wanted to lower mine but have always been afraid of the unknown. Let me know of any problems that you have encountered since you lowered the car.
