ill have some pics up soon of the 15mm spacers on the rear, i decided not to put the 6mm spacers up front because the stock studs are to short....if anyone wants to recomend me a place to get extended studs that would be awsome

Still stand firm,, loving how clean this car is. Where are you located in Va? You should drop down to the Neloc forum and introcuce yourself. We have alot of locals in the area and you should come out. There is gonna be a meet in the Great Falls area next month on the 15th.

i dont know
.... i mean please inform what i did wrong, i put the longer two coil overs in the rear. threaded the lower castings all the way snug with the shock body so there as low as they can go, then made sure there wasnt any pre-load on the spings, "springs are almost loose enough to spin by hand" then tightend the collars.the only way i see to make the rear sit lower would be to loosen the collars an let the springs droop down witch would cause the shock to be pre-loaded an take away from ride comfort.
I can lower it in the back significantly more.
Either way, it looks good. I did the clear front signal/parking on the bumper, and it really cleaned it up. Fully polished isn't my thing, my lips are polished and thats good enough for me.
Nice to see more hooked up 2LS. Keep up on the maint, and the car will give you lots of reliable miles.
Good luck.

Not to hijack your thread but I am curious if Geof or Ryan have camber issues with your low setup? Mine is not as low and I had to modify the camber parts. I have another thread going if you want to reply there "inner tire wear".

Wow! That's awesome!
I'm planning on getting Megans sometime in the spring (once I've saved up) for my '97, which is the same color combo ha.
I've noticed a lot of people are starting to put the Megans on, so it's nice to have all the reviews/complaints/praises for them so I know what I'm getting myself into.

I have always run Tein on all my other cars, so this is a new brand for me.

im running -3 in the back and -2.5degrees in the front, the adjustments have a little more room to play with but im not worryed about fixing the camber... as long as you have your toe right your will get a decent amount of life from your tires.
