it's a '97 with 70K miles. guy i bought it from had just renewed his coverage bumper to bumper. cost him 2500, cost me $50 to switch it to my name. all stock save for KYB and Sprint. oh, and the wheels. i had an awful experience getting it lowered but i came out okay. i'm thrilled with the car. hope you enjoy. i sure have for 7500 bucks.

Looks good bro. You got a pretty good deal on the ride. Did you say you went with the Sprint springs?

Thumbs up

Awesome!

The black wheels and silver lip compliment the paint colors nicely.
That's a nice and tidy drop too.

How recent was the drop?
Let us know how/if you continue to like the ride as the suspension settles.

i went with sprint springs. you get what you pay for my friends. stiff, but not great. after the rear springs finally came to, the rears tucked. looked a bit to gangster for me, plus i have friends that ride in the back, so you could imagine, lowered, 18's, she rubbed. i had to buy spring spacers to put it up 3/4 of an inch, not my ideal solution but it works well for now. the car looks and performs great now, for what i've had to do, the rear no longer tucks, it's even. and i'm pretty happy with the KYB stuff. its worth what you pay for. my old man bought me a zex kit for my birthday. but i've researched and kind of afraid of it. i might have pics of that install up soon. depends.
