Default Lowering the 98

Lets see some pics and what springs you used. Here is mine. I don't like the huge gap and I have finally talked the wife into lowering her car. With the new wheels the gap is bigger bc the tires are shorter than stock.I have thought about some FRPP B springs. Hell I might put in the mach1/cobra springs that are in the 83 but she would kill be for dropping it that low (they were trimmed before I got them so it drops about 2 inches).

Oh those 16" are such an improvement over the 15". How much of a drop are you planning, 1-1.5"?

I hate people that dont read.

I would like to do at least 1.25 but the B's are just slightly over 3/4. I don't want to get some cheap drop zones crap and I don't want to spend $200 on a set either. The car money goes into my foxes usually.

I just have to keep the ride nice bc the wife is a little touchy when it comes to stuff but shes starting to come around on the modifying when it comes to her car. All she really wants is some ugly ass hood lol.

Lol yea at one point she liked the stalker type 2 which in itself I don't think is bad but doesn't go on a v6 of any kind in my book. Then even worse she likes the black widow crap. I am not a fan of putting a mean looking hood on a car that is not mean. A CAI, strut tower bar, and a coil are not making that car any meaner lol.
