Nice looking ride!

I think if you lower it just a couple more inches & it'll be just perfect!

WOW. I love it. Keep it where it is. I like that ride hieght. I really love the interior. Its super clean and nicely done. I noticed the gear lever, looks like a manual tranny because of of the handle and leather boot, but then I saw the last pic and only saw 2 pedals!! Looks good. Nicely done.

Looks great. Maybe a little low but by no means "ghetto".

Usually "ghetto" means wheels way too big with no drop at all.

I guess all those VIP rides are ghetto.

Am I going crazy or should the engine be mounted transversely...?

I think if you just raised the rear up an inch or two it would look perfect. Nice ride, hope to see you in a swapped GS in the future.

As always man, one of my favorite KA's, just so simple and clean and low, i must admit though of all wheels I think the AutoCoutures were my favorites and then the mesh ones (cant remember brand).

Very very nice man, enjoy

oh i love it.... but sorry have to agree with the guys or maybe its just my taste but raise the rear a little. but beautiful car. IMO the LEGEND can NEVER get old it was waaaay ahead of its time. This is coming from a previous 92 legend coupe owner.

By no means is it drivein that low. It was just for show.. The first pics are the JIC at full length. The rear drops a lot further than the front due to much more clearance.. It was just lowered for profile....

thanks for the comments..
