You need to lower that thing ASAP.

after hearing the troubles someone else has had w/ that, i'll pass!

perhaps i should chrome my rims, install neon underbody lights, fit 6" diameter exhaust, and tons of gaudy stick-on body-cladding too?!?!

The ride looks real nice.

Looks nice But I hope it's just a start - don't stop
Nothing wrong with the drop if it done right - nobody did that before as I know. Check my topic about Intrax springs down the page - I don't have any problems and will post DIY direction tomorrow night.

true. i was just giving Boris a hard time. ;-) lowering a bit would give it a really nice look (say 1" drop?). i'd prefer to maintain the factory self-leveling air shocks...if i can track down the right mods to do that, that'd be sweet. i might circle the wagons on that sometime down the road.

right now, i'm focusing on painting my calipers red and getting some vauxhall logo bits for the grill and boot and steering-wheel.

Hey-hey!... Painting calipers red - that was my idea Going to do it tomorrow Hope will finish the mesh grille, too - done with mounting mesh today - but screwed up - need to refinish the frame

The leveling system shouldn't be a problem -I disconnected mine but measured the distance from the sensor arm to the bottom of the body above - so now I have to modify the link to suspension to keep the original position of the sensor's arm. Tryed to move the sensor arm with hand - it works - car slowly goes up and down - amaizing

Not many choices with springs out there - but if you are looking for less drop - I think VOGTLAND(?) will do it - 1.2" drop all around.

Just kidding

I read that article with Corvette, too.

Had time to finish only the front - will do rear soon. Custom grille will be done some time later...

Red calipers with EBC Green Stuff brakes. My both sensors broke - looking for replacement.
