Default New Pictures after lowering!

I love the looks! After the alignment it rides almost as good as stock, and sticks to the road like glue.
Overall I lowered it about 1 3/4 inches in the front, and 2 inches in the rear.





:cheers:

Great, isn't it? :D :D

Just did the "cut the front bushings" (I assume that's what you did) myself & long bolts...

Our cars are identical (I have no moldings), so if you've got the dough, I highly recommend getting the Eradispeed rotors too...they look just beautiful and will really set off your wheels & red calipers. I get lotsa looks!

Might as well through in a Borla too... :cheers:

Looks great "in the weeds".

You now have a Stealth Vette that looks even better in the sunshine.

Great job! Now I want mine all the way down. Thanks for the pics! :cool:

Looks very good Chris! Did you nail it the first time? Or did you have to go back for adjustments?
