Took about a coil and a half out of the front stock springs.
Removed the isolators in the rear and cut half a coil out.

Car looks great! Do they offer that wheel or even the welded R/T in a skinny? I love the look of them but I need something for the slicks/skinnys set up.

Black 98:

Air-powered die grinder with a cutoff wheel. Pretty easy and cooled the spring with a bucket of water as I went.

Yup, they have a bolted RT front in the drag series.

Definitly looks more mean when the car is lowered. Looks great.

This is a bolted RT style (road race series). If you want a drag style bolted RT, we can do that also...in addition to the non-bolted (welded RT drag rim). Either syle will look similar though the spokes will be a bit shorter due to the 15 inch diameter drag setup vs these larger diameter rims.

You can see many samples of pictures on F-bodies located at www.sjmmanufacturing.homestead.com
