    How would it cost you $500-600 to go lower? And no room?

    Roll (and maybe pull a little) your fenders, make some drop hats for your front springs, and take out the spring pads. Those last 2 will probably drop you about 1/2".

        He's on coils I'm pretty sure.

        I'm in the same boat. It would take me the welding and cutting of my perches paired with carrado koni's to get lower.

        Need more pictures hootie! I love it.

          5 to 600?? Crazy. How low is the bottom of your rocker panel?

          This is mine raised all the way up and it only cost me a new set of short koni shocks.




          Oh and all the way down. Could go lower if the frame wasnt in the way.




          Start cuttin shit up and slam that bitch!!!

                #3 has my vote. goes well with the paint theme of your car as a whole.

                      id like to see a pic of your car from an angle that actually allowed us to see how it sat on flat ground.

                          #5, and for those that aren't aware, the expense is because the M42 lower oil pan is dangerously low. It needs to be re-thought to go any lower.

                            Oh yeah and plaid is FTW so #7 or #8 are the awesome. I can't decide between the two.

                              Thanks for all the compliments!

                              This is how I came up with 500-600.

                              $400 for new struts.
                              $20 to pay someone to weld them
                              $10 for washers to raise up engine
                              ~$70 to shorten the oil pan

                              Thats $500, and assuming everything comes out right, which it never does. Currently the oil pan is about 1.5 inches off the ground, and I have no room to get shorter springs because I will run out of travel.
