Default few new pics

Was out with a few friends and one of them took pics...I'll keep posting them when he finishes processing them.

This guy(Greg) and me have been good friends for years, we've both gone from bone stock to what we have now with a very similar progression.

His car was a 93' low mileage NA car, now it's a 400whp turbo car.

It's interesting that on different monitors the pictures look completely different.

On the monitor I was on at school when I posted these, they were clean and clear and looked great. Here at home on my laptop monitor they look dark and almost not sharp enough. Interesting...lol.

The car is looking great man! And nice shots for sure.

Thanks man. Glad you're back in the F-body game.

I'm running Edelbrock IAS Coilovers up front, and BMR drop springs with the Edelbrock IAS shocks out back. I absolutely love it.

Looked up the IAS stuff, looks really nice. How does the IAS stuff work in the real world? Can you tell when it switches, and what causes it to switch between less and more dampening? Seems like the shocks by nature are stiffer with more dampening, but when they sense a lot of actuations as they would over rough roads, they open the valve and decrease the dampening for a smoother ride.

Hey man, if you can when you get the chance, can you measure your ride height at the fender? I'm currently at 26.5" F and 26.75" R and the car looks like it's way too high still. I'd like to get it down a little but don't want to destroy the ride doing it. If your car rides well with the IAS stuff I'd be really curious to see where your ride height is at.
