Default Lowered my T/A

Well I finally cleared out all the boulders and ruts from my driveway so I figured I didn't need to keep my T/A a 4x4 anymore.

QA1's on all 4 corners with ??? springs. Don't remember.

Now mabey ELLIS and MARK will leave me alone!

Oh that's GOOD Steph!!!!

Your car was pretty before, but it does look MUCH better now Chad! With the ram air hood, black interior & lowered we might even let you hang with us. Well, maybe after you do something about that ricer rear facia.....

Oh, and those are the Eibach Pro Kit springs. They lower the car about 1 1/2" and noticeably improve performance.

I've never had any traction issues... but then again, my car still runs mid 12's. I've got a lot more than just shocks and springs, though.

Oh im sure, i just always thought the pro kit was more of a road racing spring thats all, but if you an Mark didnt have any issues then i might give them a try. I was always in kind of a limbo with what spring an shock combo to go with since i wanted something for the dragstrip but with a nice stance as well-thanx Zeke
