I put my tax return into paying off 2 credit cards and a good amount on my car loan. Now ive started my house down payment savings....
So yeah, not buying mods can pay off in other ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but boy oh boy mods are fun.

And oh yeah, if you go with the lowering kit better throw in some caster/camber plates ($300) and new adjustable panhard rod (~$200) and also if you have a one-piece driveshaft either adjustable lower ca's or upper ca (~$300). That's what is holding me back from lowering, having to swap out most of my freakin' suspension components (not to mention spending at least $1000 to do it the right way).

you guys are loosing me in all this camber and adjusting and ****.. so fck the lowering..
and heres a pic of the cobra R that i want
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...16316&rd=1
not a whole lot of those hoods on the s197.. so hard to find pics.. but wha ti like about it.. is that it screams mean.. but also doesnt poke you in the eye because it stands out so much..
eventually i would get it painted with foose style stripes and the come down on the sides liek the boss but wider, and then straight back along the side.. would look insane.. but dont have the funds for the paint yet

Hmmm, funny how ALL lowering kits provide camber bolts when the correct way is to use plates. That is very interesting. Must have not been lowered over 1.5', right?

Sorry about screwing your post up. If you're going with a cowl, my choice would be Steeda. They make the best looking cowl hood for S197's BY FAR imo.
