Default New legs!
I finally stepped into some new ZO6 machined wheels and Yokahama AVS sports. Also installed the lowering kit (LG) and went to 1 1/2 finger spacing. I think it has a sleek and mean look. What do ya think?

Very nice indeed. What did you do to get the front as low as the back? Cut the bushings or take the bolts out? I need a new sig pic now that I'm lowered.

Because I have the F45 ride control, the front adjustment screws had to be removed, (running into the shocks) cut and a allen head piece welded on. Yes, also cut the bushings. I had it to low the first time (1 finger). I was getting a bounce in the rear end. Raised it 1/2 finger and it rides like it did at stock height.
