yeah they closed the track here in memphis so i am gonna put the car back on the street should be alot of fun with the 6 speed and street tires, looking to just cruise the car again, i plan on putting tint back on and lowering the car again but not sure how low i can go with a sphon torque arm and the ford 9 inch, i had it slammed back when it was stock with a set of intrax springs. this was back in 2002 car was bone stock.

Definitely needs lowered again. Get some Hotchkis, BMR, or Strano springs for it. Anything lower looks BA, but handles and rides like ***.

As for the wheels...look good!

You get used to the scraping. You also start driving a lot more carefully. But it does look BA

yeah window tint and lowering are the next 2 things i am shooting for, my 68 lq9 swapped camaro is still a lil ways off before being drivable so i wanted something to cruise this spring and summer so i turned my race car back to a street car, it went 11.2's on motor with the th400 and slicks, now it has a 6 speed and monster stage 4 clutch in it with about 100 miles on it since this weekend, the car is so much more fun to drive now. i can't wait to see what it will do WOT on these tires and with the 6 speed.
