Default Pics of the new stance **PICS**

Threw some BMR springs on a few weeks back and just snapped a few pics. I'm happy with the new stance and its not so low where it scrapes over everything. It only scrapes slightly over steep curbs and speed bumps on the lower part of the Y. I need to get rid of the cats and get a custom Y made for more clearance but for now its liveable. The 315s don't rub surprisingly enough but I plan on rolling the fenders anyway. Now I need to save up for some Konis.

Strano and bmr springs give best stance IMO.

Tint your windows, nice looking car.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

1Loudz28, I paid $230 for the springs, $100 for panhard rod from BMR, and I also got some LCA relocation brackets from Midwest Chassis for about $100.

Breathtaker, I wish I could tint my front windows but any tint in the front is illegal in Cali and cops LOVE to give tickets for illegal tints. I may go with a moderate tint in the front though.

STK85, yes these are TTMs. I haven't actually seen anyone else here with them on a black T/A. Am I the only one with this combo here??

I love those rims on a Black or Midnight Blue T/A. Now if I could just find a low mileage Black Firehawk I could swap all my parts to I'd be in heaven.

That, my man, looks very nice !!!!

Thanks for the comments everyone!

LS1 Freak, I'm not sure if you meant how much money the drop was or how many inches the drop was, but it was 1" (advertised) and I had the chassis shop do the install along with panhard rod, LCAs & brackets, SFCs, and TA, so I can't give an accurate price. But everything together was about $650 if that helps. Here are some pics before lowering:





STK85, I plan on running the car this Friday at Sac Raceway if you can make it out. PM me and let me know and we can meet up. Or if not then maybe another time.

Breathtaker, I agree with you Cali sucks for us car guys. I seriously thought about moving for that very reason.
