I knew it was a joke - that's why I put the in. And I know to whom you refer as well

Great pics Stephen, now I can see exactly how low the car is. Great idea with the stock to slammed side by side comparison. Man... you're not "In Da Weedz" you're "In Da Water Table"! Looks very cool and MEAN!!!

Looks like I'm going to drop mine on Factory Bolts real soon but I only plan to lower it about .75 to 1". Was there a "How To" link on this subject that you could refer me to?

TIA

Looks awesome Stephen! So, have you scoped out the route to Hooters in the beater yet? You should be good to go with Grond, it's been a while since I was there but I don't recall any "obstacles".

Actually Paul, I was going to do that today I work in RI and thought I would have a 'shufti' on the ways there and back

Thanks for the heads up - saved my luncheon hour!!
