Lowered the vert! Stock stocks and springs were replaced with SLP Bilsteins and BMR 1.25" lowering springs. LCA relocation brackets and adjustable panhard bar went on as well. I think the front lowered a bit more than the rear but I think the stance is about perfect. More importantly the ride quality is a night and day difference. It takes on the bumpy roads tons better while offering a more responsive/less sloppy ride. SFC's and/or hollow sway bars are probably next on the list for handling mods.

Perfect stance, that looks really good. Glad to hear you love the ride, I jus pushed a friend of mine to get the bilsteins and BMR springs for his 96 SS.
Sidenote....might be the rarest color combo ive see yet. Red/Orange TA's are like seeing a unicorn, the white leather and top is rarer yet. 98 and 99 were full of odd color combo's.

Yes indeed, IIRC when I was investigating the rarity on compnine there were 22 or 23 convertibles made in 98 with this paint color, and only 3 had white interiors/tops--2 where autos and 1 was manual. This one is the manual.
