Ive been looking at the exact same set up. Looks nice, not too huge of a drop but its not a 4x4 anymore. How do you like those parts and do you have any other suspension mods?

Looks good. Get some rear "camaro" fill-ins or Berger and you'll be good to go.

MAn... After i lowered mine i realize how BAD they can look on the stock springs.. .Goood mod..

One thing that's really triggering my car OCD... What is up w/ your front wheel well? It's got a bulge in the front half and is out of round? If mine has that I'll have to fix it. Sorry but it's bugging me.. You see it in the first two pics..

Great mod.. THe car looks kinda familiar too.. ..

Thanks for the compliments .

So far all that's done is Koni DA's, Hotchkis springs and a Hotchkis adjustable PHR. The ride is BETTER than stock. It's way more responsive and I can feel the road now. It's hard to describe, but it used to feel sloppy and unstable, and now it's totally planted. There's no more jerk-oversteer and I'm way more confident driving it now. The Konis were worth every penny..

Good eye..my OCD's been bugging out since I bought the car too. Apparently the ******* who owned the car before me somehow pushed in the seam between then fender and the nose, and the metal bracket inside got bent. I replaced the bracket, but the plastic is a little out of wack still. I wasn't able to completely massage it out, and I figure the only way I'll fix it is by replacing the nose and fender ..Most people don't notice it, but I know it's there..

Looks better but it will drop more over time. Then you'll know much more of a difference. Nice ride.

Looks good. I also have the Hotchkis springs paired with Koni SA's and your car will drop some more once the springs settle.
