    What's the floor and regular problem areas look like? I'm sure everything should be ok considering it's a 91.

    Hopefully the floor looks better than my project mini:

            Koni Hi-Lo's. I love them.



            The car sits way to high up now. It's almost drivable.

                          Mine's lowered. It has some springs with adjustable perches. It came with the car when I bought it. I believe they're called Hi/Lo's or something. Has KYB shocks if I recall correctly.

                            Mind sharing what website you used to see all the available colors?

                            Oh, and congrats on the car.

                              Looks exactly how I would want mine to sit. Perfect!

                              Do you have hi-lows on the fronts also?
