Default Skyline Drive CETA Pix (Widescreen)

Hey folks, thought I'd share just a few pictures with you guys. The GF and I took a little trip out to Skyline Drive past Charlottesville, VA to do some hiking. Needless to say, the scenic mountains made for a few good pictures of the CETA. Shame it was cloudy, otherwise they could have been really bad *** with the sun shining. Anyways, enjoy - I'll throw in 2 other pictures I really liked of the woods. Oh and excuse my car, its dirty and not shiny (its a DD -- what do you expect. )

Nice CETA and pictures. There was a CETA drop at the track with the same wheels but with a yellow lip. It looked good

Thats odd, they are the stock wheels. I actually think I may want to sell them so I can afford some Ruffs or ADRs.

So if I want to lower it, what are some good choices for me? I dont need the latest and greatest shocks and springs for racing suspension and all that jazz. This is a DD, its more about aesthetics than being a race car. How can I drop it about 1.4 in the back and 1.6 in the front so that I won't break my bank?

since it's a dd i would go with bmr's 1" lowering springs. if you drop too much you'll scrape a lot. you can also just do the hose mod on the back as well if you want the rear lower than the 1"

Just drop it roughly 1 inch. A few good choices for that would be BMR, Hotchkis, and Strano. Check out/search the suspension section for picture's and information.
