Default L-tuned spring and 18" wheels pictures

I nstalled my springs and shocls Sunday. Not too hard, just took the old units down to a local shop and had them switch everything over. I could not get thre floor jack out from under the car when I was done, too low. Had to lower front tire onto some 2x4's to get jack out.

Looks great after the drop. Is that a Cuda next to your GS?

I'm not sure which one is fastest. May be the truck.

you should find that the steering wheel tracks straight after that drop. Be that as it may, I still got the alignment after I got the install and my alignment was crooked AFTER the alignment

PS after 3 alignments my car drives str8 again... (altho after this ****ty *** winter we had, I am sure the potholes knocked it out some )


bottomline, my suggestion to you is this: take it for a spin, if it drives as straight as it did before the drop, leave it be!





edit: side note I just noticed this was my 1000 post! that is all)

Those wheels look great on the car. They look so different on tirerack. I thought baout getting a set but didn't like how they looked on tirerack.

Did you get them from the classifieds?
