umm... how do you even drive it down the road, the slightest bump would scrape and it doesn't look like you can turn the wheels much....

BTW looks like you need a tail light

I also know a guy who can shorten the stock steering knuckles (spindles) so that the upper A-arm tips don't hit the upper sheetmetal and can raise the balljoints on the lower A-arm to in essence make a drop spindle, but I guess your idea works as well. Did you run into any ball joint angle issues?

Did you know there are some drop spindles for our cars on the market? 2" and run about $500, but they are for drag racing only.

I believe this is a current pic although it might be able to get higher. I'm not sure.

I had a bagged and shaved Tacoma, so I like bagged vehicles. A bagged Camaro is different though! I do like the wheels, they are sick. I was wanting to put some Intro, Boyd, or Bud's on my Camaro, but I didnt!
