Default New Stance! Pics!!

Just thought I would post a couple of before and after shoots of the new stance. Car is lowered in the front on Strano's and stock springs in the back with KYB AGX shocks all the way around. Will have to say car handles alot better. I know it could handle even better on Koni's and lowered in the back but I have TDs with Borla ProXs mufflers and don't think lowering in the back is possible with this exhaust. I have not scrapped the exhaust yet with this setup so I am pretty well pleased. Thanks Sam!

Looks good, lets see the clearance w/ the TD's...it could be possible to lower the rear, but you might have to be really careful driving around. I have an XR1 muffler in the place of the LM muffler and it hangs pretty low, but I've only scraped it twice.

Well not only is it the mufflers but the x-pipe is actually lower than the mufflers. I will go get some pics of the GC so you guys can see. How much lower does the hose mod bring the rear?

Yeah, that would be cutting it REAL close lowering the rear 1.2 inches.

The hose mod is 1/2" I believe...

never thought id like it with just the nose knocked down, but thats really what gives it the 4x4 stance usually. Like it.

Thanks guys. I really missed it being lowered. It was for a few years until the SLP headers and then I had to raise it back up. I am in no hurry to lower the rear and probably never will the clearance is just to good to screw up.

looks good but what sucks about these cars though is if you do any exhaust work from the axle foward to the front of the car you have to be cautious about the clearance when you lower it
