The New "look"

[XxApollynxX]

Finished installing all the springs/shocks and didn't raise the spring very high on the shock and this is what I got...

Was to lazy to raise it up any higher yesterday so I left it from now. I didn't drive it any where but I did one test launch it was NIIIIICE. Of course way to low to drive around but it looks cool.

Well the rims/tires have mostly always been on there but damn i didnt know that lowering a car could make such a difference! Car's almost done appearance wise need to do my CETA mod and window tint then thats it. But I will post pics up once its actually up where its supposed to be and when I get my 28" X 11.5" slicks instead of these little 26 X 10.5" I got on there now.

Thanks for all the compliments. The K-member is only like 1.5" from the ground.

[XxApollynxX]

[XxApollynxX]

Hrmmmm that looks good, im thinking of getting them done black like that but instead of a chrome lip he does a red stripe on the flat spot like this... THOUGHTS?

 

[Eagle]

I'm thinking that would look pretty sick on your car!

The easy life.

Looks good, you do know that those 28's are gonna slow you down right?

Mmmm not really, its counter-balancing something else. And it also gives me more sidewall so i'll 60' way more consitant and have a larger contact patch area. So its actually going to help me.

Someone running 5.16s in the rear? LOL

Did you change your gear out as well? Yes you'll hook better but unless you have some step gear's in it that hurt you I don't see you running super faster.

 

[Eagle]

and even if he IS running steep gears, it'll hurt his trap...

most folks that go 28 go back to 26 unless they really have a monster motor.

Maybe.... :eek3dance: 2.73 for the win!!!
I'm pretty sure im not going back to 26" I dont want to run that high of RPM its for RPM safety. But once all gets set-up i'll probably bring both sets to the track to see what happens.

 

[60DegreeVVT]

that is one low TA :nannerpunk:

 

[XxApollynxX]

Raised it back up last night, not nearly as cool looking but at least I can drive it around now!!! Did a couple test launches/runs on different shock settings... Man what a difference!!!

Videos coming soon!
