Looks great! Hotchkis sells a 1" rear spring as another option and has less drop than the BMRs

That hood is a Harwood part# B12201. The reason I know that is because I wanted that hood originally. I got 5 shipped from Summit all 5 were messed up in some way.

There is another company on E bay selling a similar hood, true fiber or something like that.

Thanks again guys! I might be doing a black and white shoot with the g/f and the car here soon. I will also have a coil or two removed from the rear before then.

A few weeks ago I did this install too, out back is the 1.3inch drop from Eibach.

Matt is a pain in the *** turning it with a spanner isn't it, I know it is for me anyways.

I can't imagine how they will be once they get a little dirt in them.

That stance looks sick as hell Matt. You should measure the fronts from the ground to the fender going from the center of the wheel and measure 21.5". That will be a good starting point for drag racing. Other wise leave it where you want and then when you mash the gas your front end will sky high> lol.

Really? My adjustments are as smooth as butter. They got a little tough when I was compressing the spring more but still wasn't bad, maybe I got lucky or something. I wouldn't want to know how much of a PITA it would be to adjust them without the bearings tho!

I don't know, maybe you lucked out. My driver side is the only side that gives me hell, the passenger side isn't so bad.
