ok, it's not really that low normally. i just had the rear end up on the ramps ( fixing the strut mounts ) and thought the front looked killer. still haven't chopped the fenders out yet, maybe tomorrow.
Purrrrrrfect.

yea i wish it was that low. you gonna leave the black part off the bumper? what all did you do to the rear? forget all the negative stuff i said about dragging. i have had so much trouble with the paint i dont care if i mess it up. i welded some more plate on mine to drag. im also not so sure about the rear end i built. i may have to do something different. like a straight axle.
i did a calculation and drawing for the g6 wheels which may help.

yeah, it'd be great to actually sit that low... without the rear bumper 3 feet off the ground. I removed the black lip on the front forever ago, when it started falling off. When i get my donor bumper for shaving the front end, i'm gonna use the lower portion of the donor to make a new lip. I plan on only having the sides of the bumper with a lip, and leaving a lower-grille sized gap in between. As for the rear end, i opted to use the factory mounting holes for the shocks, cus the new KYB's don't bottom out there. Oh, and i fanally figured out what that bracket was that you posted pics of... it's the rear link mounts . I might end up doing that to mine too.

well dont copy my design for the rea set up. i twisted it pulling into a gas station somehow and now the drivers side rubs the shock. and i didnt get to drive it to the secod day of Battledrag.
looks like a straight axle and 4 link will be coming.

Got em from airlift, they're the Lifestyle struts. Cost me about $650, and waited 4 months for em. Wait might not be so long, cuz I was the first set in Production
