Default Altitude adjusted

With some tagteam help from my future Father in Law, we just finished up lowering and installing new Bilstein HD shocks the SS today! So I took a few shots to show it here.
It was done with cutting the front coils ( 1 coil ) and the heater hose mod for the rears. Overall it's down around 1.5" in front and maybe 3/4 in back.

These pics show the car with a full tank of gas in it

Thanks, I didn't want it slammed, just a little lower than it was is only what I was looking for.

I like what you did with the stance, my vert used to sit up what seemed higher than most Camaros. I think you found the happy medium with what you did though.

My first impression of the badging was I didn't like it. But the more and more I have looked at it from all angles, its growing on me. Kudos for trying something different. Any plans to make wheel changes?

I'm usually not a fan of verts, but yours is an exception

Grille and badges look great, wheels look good and you now have a perfect stance.

Nice car!

The badging is '06 Monte Carlo and I have been thinking of swapping out the wheels out but it'll have to wait until some maintenance issues are resolved.
