Jitters, great photoshop job!!! I like alot. In order to get that low, I need a hell of a fender roll. I am ready to start dropping and do the fender roll. Where do I get the tools to do a roll and anyone selling anything to lower it?

Thanks Eddie...

I'm not sure of where to get the tool to roll the fender. I know they sell them but I'm not sure if it would be worth buying the tool or having someone do it for you.

If I have to have mine done, I will let the guy who does the coil-over install do it for me. He'll do it free of charge since I'm a regular...

IIRC, I've heard of some folks who use the end of a baseball bat to roll the fenders. Don't quote me but I believe they jack the car up just high enough to have enough room between the top of the tire and the fender and go from there...Again, just something I read somewhere...

Regarding the lowering of the ride, I would probably go with Megan Racing Coil-overs. I had a set on my SC and they worked great...

The only issue that I'm having in deciding on whether or not I want to do the same to the LS is that the SC is more of a sports coupe and the LS is more of a luxury sedan, so I don't want it riding like a sports car....

We'll just have to see...

for anyone interested, my LSportline suspension setup will be up for sale by this weekend, keep an eye out on the forums

keep in mind if you are going to roll the fenders to heat up the lip in order to keep the paint as intact as possible.
