Here is a better angle of how low it sits now. It's low enough for me. Now I just need some new wheels for the upcoming summer. I also smashed my vband clamp coming out of my complex on a speed bump. So I fixed that and we are good to go again!

Originally posted by HenryGMCan't wait to see the new looks with the new wheels. My uncle is actually looking to get this 325IX as the next project after we finished installing the suspension and kmc wheels on the current Silverado project. Looks like the Ground spring and Koni shocks is a good combo.

Are you dropping the subframe as well? Could be a good opportunity to do RWD subframe bushings now that the car is lowered to correct some of that rear toe.

Crazy that was a few years ago. Are you dropping the subframe as well? Could be a good opportunity to do RWD subframe bushings now that the car is lowered to correct some of that rear toe.

I was getting some vibration driving at speed. Pretty positive it is my hub rings, so I got some better ones to replace the old plastic ones with. When I replaced my old tires with the Nitto I have on there now is when I started getting vibrations at speed. I took it back to the tire shop who load balanced each tire and said they came back balanced. I never really connected the dots till recently that this was due to the old rings probably having been broken during the tire change. Now I got some nice CNC'd rings from Motorsport-Tech.

Spring has arrived in Utah! Got some new brake rotors and pads installed and took the car out for a drive with a friend. This was almost like a maiden voyage for me. I've been driving the car on short distances to pick up my daughter from school, but nothing on the highway or anything further than like 2 miles away from my house. The car did great! I'm happy with how it feels and sounds. I had to dial back the ol "crackle tune" cause it was just too much for me, but got it to a realm of acceptable. Car is loud af, but it all works. I'm pumped on how this car is coming together, but I'm starting to want to redo and quiet my exhaust just a little bit. Pics provided.
