After driving around for a few weeks, reply back with any clearance issues. You're roughly the height I want mine down the road, but I don't want it to be a pain to drive.

Damn son, I think you're lower than I am! Veddy nice

So what's next? I hate to ask, especially with the kid about to pop out, but still. I'm thinking:

A-Spec kit
07-08 Base Tails
Black Roof
Powdercoated Wheels ( to Plasti-Dip)

Thoughts?

This would have probably been on the back burner but the photo of my car next to his after the headloght clearing was a strong motivation.

Nice drop, for anything.

Austin, what's your fender to ground measurement? I'm at 24" but I made that higher with 19's and the fact that my camber is corrected.

Dan...impressive...car looks amazing and to be honest...I'd rather go with plastidip and be able to switch around a bit.

my new fav smilie

True, I wish I had coils

No sense of pouring more money into the car now, I've already got the new car itch
