Looks great . I just got done with the rears. How much did you lower it? Did you use the stock bolts or did you change them out? Any change in the ride being lowered?

thanks guys!

The front fenders are Caravaggio's. Required a little more work, but well worth the price savings over the GM parts.

It's lowered on stock bolts, I cut the bottom 3/4 of the bushing on each one. I'm not sure of the actual ammount it's lowered. I can't tell a difference in ride quality.

Good God that is sweet. My AO coupe is on the way . . . My top wheel choice is the SP550's. No plans yet for the widebody conversion, but it definately makes a huge difference.

Dude that is absolutely beautiful. Is Carvaggios a vendor here or is it sold through somebody else. Also where did you get that rear spoiler?

I used a cable saw (used for cutting in-wall PVC pipe) you can buy one at any hardware store, it makes the cutting easy.

Caravaggio fenders are sold by a couple of forum vendors, I'm not sure if Caravaggio itself is a forum vendor or not though. The spoiler is the GM Racing spoiler, you can get is from some from some of the supporting GM dealers
