Bricks

Like I said, if it has anything like that, I did't install it. I'll look underneath it tomorrow and see if I can see any labels. What should I look for? I'm obviously not proficient in automobile suspensions.

any chance you can toss a tape measure on the top of the wheel openings sitting static? that would give me a base line for mine, thanks. Mine always seemed to sit high in the rear

Nice Panel!

I'll do it first thing in the morning. Where do you want me to measure from (from what to what?)

Sorry, but I just got back from happy hour!

Stock springs are black in color. Aftermarket springs are usually painted a different color like red, blue or yellow.

lol . . . . . measure from the ground to the top of the arch (the wheel opening).

I actually bought my panel after i inherited a PT Cruiser and realized a small boxy car worked well for my biz. Really hated the Chrysler platform and had seen a few panels around. A friend of a friend got one in on his car lot and it was the exact color i wanted (had a pace car Vette in Atomic Orange) i bought the panel sight unseen and had it shipped down. every time i drive it i like it more and more. I'm having a lot of fun with it, got lots of plans for it
