Default Buget Ballin

So I must contribute, Yes I may own a caddy but im not rich. I cut the springs on the V and just thought I would throw some pics up. I did a full coil in the rear and almost a full coil in the front, Thank you too Maxpennmatt and NeverSatisfied02 for there help with all my questions and for the spacers. Also the car stays level and really the ride is the same as before. Bawlin On A Budget FTW!

Looks good man! No prob on the help! to ballin on a budget! haha

Mighty mouse... I might need your spacers. I used Matt's but my rear does pump up a little (maybe 1/2") and it does ride a little harsh. I went 1-1/4 coil in the rear and a full coil up front though. MT might be ok on Matt's spacer since he didnt cut as much...

How far away from Houston are you?

And yeah, PM me with a price too Mighty. I may just get your spacers myself but the only issue is, i think right now when the car is settled, the rear may sit a hair lower in the rear than the front. Either that or it just appears that way because of the 275's out back. When i drive it and the shocks bump it back up that 1/2" or so to where the rear sits a hair higher. If the rear is actually slightly lower than the front when settled, if i go with your spacers, ill prob want to pull my front springs out to cut a hair more off them to get rid of it sitting that hair higher in the front. I know... im picky... lol

Thank you to everyone who has given Props! I have had this car for almost a year and really haven't done too much. I am waiting on my fogs to show up, I kind of destroyed mine on a trip from Delaware to New Orleans LOL. It was hard going through the tail of the dragon at 2:30 in the morning while lighting tree tops up. I really like it without the fogs though. I thought about putting little turn signals wear the brake ducts inlets are. Like from the new body stang SAVE THE FLAMING, I think they would fit and would look factory. Or just using amber led’s in my corner marker spots in the headlight, then using my old fogs as a mold. For some huge brake ducts and a fresh air inlet on the driver side.
