Default Lowered GS :)

Got my lowering kit on the other day, I cut both the bushings on the top of the spring and the ends on the spring for the front. Sitting about an inch lower in the rear and 1/2 inch lower in the front :) I like it!





And as some of you remember my friend passed away early this year due to injurys he sustained after wrecking his Mustang Cobra... Me and a few other friends of his decided this was a good way to show how much we miss him :sad:

That is how I lowered my GS. But, I'm going to still take some additional altitude out of the front.

I haven't really had a chance to test the handleing yet, thier has been snow on the ground here and when thier isn't the pavement is too cold to get any kinda grip with GSC....Although when I order my G-Force KD's I'll be sure to let you know. :yesnod:
The car seems to ride the same, and it still has almost no body roll, I think it bassiclly just lowered the center of gravity which should help a little.
