Default No more 4x4!

I just put my eibach pro kit on yesterday. Started at 2 pm and finished about 5:30. We had to cut the shaft of the front shocks because the nut was rusted on so we made it easy with a pneumatic hack saw. It was my first time doing this and it was pretty easy and having a wall mounted pneumatic spring compressor was cash money. I recommend anyone with TSP true duals to think hard about the pro kit though, I have scraped everything since yesterday. It's mostly my turn downs that hang an inch off the ground. All the pics are taken with my phone since my camera is gay. Plus it's rainy out and I don't want clear pics of an unclean car! More better pics to come of the underneath and everything. Just need some wheels (can't decide which ones) and I'll be set as far as appearance.

Looks good, Aaron!
We can get that TSP exhaust system up closer to the chasis. Just takes some adjusting after we reverse the fuel line brackets.
Now your tucking 17's and dropping sparks!

Dude...your car looks awsome with the factory wheels...do not waste your money on new wheels. Which Eibach kit did you install, the LT1 Pro kit or the LS1 Pro kit?

Get those rear wheels widened or get a set of ZR1s 9.5s/11s.

I'm thinking chrome zr1's. i think they would look ****! maybe some torque thrust M's in chrome too. my wheels are nasty close up. the clear coat is jacked up. i should use some rubbing compound on them real good and clear coat them myself. when i get back from afghanistan i'll address the wheels.
