JJ that is fckn sweet! Is there a special backspacing for the front?

The stance is perfect and the back wheels man it looks good.

What kind and where did you get the muffler/dump?

The front is just 15x3.5 w/ the typical back spacing (1 3/4), but I don't run spacers in front or back.

The muffler is just a DynoMax Race bullet off my TSP true duals. I just bought a 3" over the axle pipe from a friend for 25 bucks and I already had a TSP Y-Pipe from when I bought the Pacesetter Longtubes so it all worked out. Clearance is GREAT now. But I know I lost some HP up top, but I will settle for that I guess, not to mention some sound quality, o well. I can get some sound clips sometime if anyone is interested.

Def. will take vid of the track run, hoping to at least pop the front left, maybe even hang it. But who knows, car is still HEAVY. The suspension is ALL done, pretty much all I can do to it to make it hook.

Well, I already painted the front calipers, but when I switch my wheels this weekend, or whenever there is a nice day, I will get some pics of the front calipers.

The offset looks great. I wasn't sure if I could fit some drags on my car with it being lowered. You just costed me some money. I am going to order my rims from summitt tonight. I am also with you on tips. I am running PaceSetter LT's with Y-Pipe and a SLP loudmouth exhaust system. of course, i have a turn down after the SLP resonater. I raced last night against a cobra. I will try and post the video by monday. everyone says my car is loud as hell. Would love to hear it on video.
