Car Lowered! One step of many (hopefully)

[jflip2002]

Alright, so we lowered the car yesterday. It was actually pretty damn easy and only took a couple hours, with bullshitting. Heres one pic. I will get more tomorrow or when its not raining. The fronts dont have spring pads, the rears do. I may remove the rears. The pic is on my street, on an incline, but it does have a nice rake to it. Its the 60/50 Lowtec drop.

Before:




And after:

The 60/50 drop will look good with some rimz

The good news is the girlfriend/fiance said "It looks nice, now you need wheels next". Basically giving the OK for the wheels, even if it interferes with her christmas present perhaps ;) lol. Next up is a near rear valance, tinted windows, new 16x9 wheels, and potentially some sort of widebody set up. Im not sure how in depth I wanna get with this thing.

Looks good. I took out my rear pads and finally put it on the road today, there was no noise with them out.

[jflip2002]

Nice, I may have to take em out sometime soon. I like the rake though

great drop....pics of your new shoes when you get them...
what rear valence you thinking of?

looks good

any clearance/rubbing issues?

[jflip2002]

Only when Im flipping a dick on my street, and my tire starts to go into the opposite curb. Only time Ive rubbed so far. Doesnt rub any other time.

For the rear valance, I think just something simple like that ACS Kopi one on Mels site. Or if someone here ends up posting another sweet one, like a racing dynamics again, Id take that. I will probably end up getting an infinity lip for the front with a splitter also.

For wheels, Id like to get some Kerscher Carmona 16x9s I think. At least the 16s would keep it lower to the ground. Though if something else nice comes along for a good price, I may change my tune.

That looks sweet, my lowtec 60/50 springs are still in my trunk, Getting them on this friday along with other maintnance parts, so excited.

So, you guys dont have any noises from running with out the spring pads?

Lookin great man. Car looks really clean. i think you should paint the outer lip of the caps red.
