Lowered

I did it today with Eibach's! Even threw on my 17 by 8 American Racing wheels, no rubbing so far. I love the way it looks, not ridiculously low, but low enough that it looks cool. Other than cornering improvement, I can't really feel a big difference in the ride. I went out to the local twisties and ripped, it felt like I was in a go cart. Great cornering combo; anti-sway bar and lowering!

Here's a couple of pics with my stock wheels, the Americans slightly rubbed on big bumps so they are for sale.......

This a picture posting test:

JOEK86, Hope you don't mind but I took the liberty to lighten your second pic so as to be able to see the lowering job better. I also resized it to 640x480. Thanks for posting the pics. I think that the gold lines would be too low for me and these may work better.

Thanks, I have to figure this pic thing out one of these days!

With people in the car the Eibach's are the way to go , at least for me. The GL's probably look more slammed, but in practical everyday use, I'll stick with the E's. I can't imagine any lower and still liking the ride..........

JoeK...Lookin' Good! Just a quick questions. Did you have to get the front end aligned after you installed the springs?

After approx 200 miles I had a Hunter alignment done. Not way off, but needed some adjustment.

After lowering, you should put 100-200 miles on the car to let the new springs settle - then get an alignment.

Hope it helps,
