Can you tell me more about your DMS springs (ie did you remove the rear isolator, etc.)? I absolutely love that stance on your car

I ordered it from Speed Inc. It is not on their new web site yet, so just ask Larry about it and he will hook you up.
They are also on Ebay from time to time. Same guy that sells them to Speed Inc I believe. I also just ordered a fuse box cover painted Ralley Red from him.

I love the springs. They ride great. The rear isolator is removed and I have heater hose in its place. Stock shocks for now, only 8,500 miles. I used BMR lower control arm relocation brackets, and Hotchkis adjustable panhard bar to complete the lowering job.

Very nice work bro, hopefully i can find time to one day get my bay to look as good as yours. I think if you did something with your valve covers, polished to match your tower brace or painted , i think that would really set it off. Great work man.

Something on that car looks very familiar, but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Car looks amazing man. I obviously love the hood and the rest of it is so clean and simple. Keep it up!

I would say just over 1.5 inch drop all the way around. I do not have any issues with the back ever banging. The rear isolator has been removed and heater hose has been added in its place.
