Default H&R and M&M lowered

another lowered one..thanks to mm for the spacers. ended up cutting about half coil on fronts just to get rid of the reverse rake which still shows being on a bit of an angle in the driveway.

After Measurements

left front 25 11/16"
right front- 25 11/16"
left rear- 25 3/4"
right rear- 25 9/16'

Gorgeous. I love that color. I also like the grille. Is that plastidipped? If so you should do your chrome badges too. I love how mine turned out.

I'll be honest. I have never been a fan of the red V. I never thought it did this car justice. Kind of grandpa looking.

I have to say... Not only have you changed my mind solely with your car, but now I wish I had one. That thing looks KILLER. Great job.

Looks great calebhindes, are you still using stock end links? Also are you having a floating feeling when driving at high speeds or cornering at high speeds? Im getting an alignment tomorrow to see if that helps but I had H&Rs put on last week, obviously havnet got an alignment yet, but it feels unstable at 60-70mph. Its like the body is floating but the tires are tracking straight....but because the body is floating it feels like my car is swerving in the lane so I go to correct it w/ the steering and I really start to swerve in my lane. So my car really isnt swerving it just feels like it is??

I dont know how to explain it but it doesnt feel comfortable at all....and before I had the H&Rs put on I never had that problem. I hope the alignment fixes it.
