Default Lowered the TBSS

Still need to install the a-arms and get it aligned. That should be Monday.
Ride is just a touch bouncy in the rear, but really it rides very close to stock.

I have been trying to find time to get the chrome brake vents vinyl wrapped in black, to get the SS badges in black (or just shave them....undecided), and to paint the calipers. Soon enough, weather is starting to cooperate finally.
Also needs a full detail.

Looks great. I think once you detail it that color is really gonna pull that car off.

Any plans for the motor?

Not much. Kinda like being able to drive it any time.
E-fans, Yank 3600 and cooler, Fenderwell intake with LS7 MAF, Kooks 1 7/8" longtubes/catted Y, tune.
Just the bolt-ons.

It was time. It went to a good home (he is on here).

For now, yes. Takes about 2 minutes to adjust.....3 hours to get perfect.

It could be in the weeds and handle what we got this year....
This likely won't be seeing too much snow though. It does great with the AWD, but don't want some idiot sliding into it.


Thanks fellas. Little different, but something to toy around with.

looks good man just get black inlays for the SS badges would look nice. And your plans sound like a solid setup pretty much exactly what i have done. If your painted the calipers to match the color of the car that would look killer
