Default lowered my green machine

so i found these Suspension techinques springs on ebay. i ended up winning them for $50 shipped. apparently they cost around $200 so i guess i came out pretty good. they have a 1.2" drop in the front and a 1.7" drop in the rears.

so i decided to try to install them myself (never done this before) well ran out of time and light so got 3 out of 4 lowering springs on.ill finish it 2morrow.





front spring difference


before


after



rear difference


for some reason the before and after pics didnt come out though

oh and heres killer dog hleping me out (well not really)

looks pretty good, did you buy some good shocks to offset them? the suspension tech springs i had on my 02 vert lowered it a lot but damn the ride was bumpy as hell. IF you get some good konis or something like that you should be all right, bilsteins would do also.

thanx everyone. no i didnt have the moneys right now to get shocks but will change them as soon as i gets some money.

heres soem bad pics of the whole car. ill try to get some better ones later on with my better camera.

the reason why i have salad shooters on the front is cause i have no money for tires at the moment so my friend gave me those.

Not to flame or anything, but . . .

You had $$$ for springs, but not for new tires

Also, if you are still running the stock decarbons, those are the biggest pos's ever. Your car might ride and handle worse than before if you're still on the stock shocks.

Car looks nice and clean though

EDIT: What happened to the wtf smiley???
