Default Suspension install pics

Well my camera is a crappy 5mp so the pics aren't great. Also I know my wheels suck but they were free 18"s and my stockers were phucked up. I really hate how the front wheel is tucked in under the front fender. Hopefully next year I'll have some 18" Black 10th anni cobras on.

My suspension parts sitting on the table taunting me.

The finished product

wheels aren't actually that bad on the car, the red and chrome look nice together, maybe a wheel spacer will fill up the wells better after that nice drop you put on

Saying the car rides better now is a understatement. 80K miles on the stock suspension and the car is driven around Chicago daily. I have only one flaw thats killing me, whoever installed the cat-back before I bought the car welded in the pipe from the mid-pipe to the muffler upside down! So the muffler on the passenger side is pointed down at an angle and scrapes EVERYTHING. Its like only about 4in of the ground when the car is empty. I don't know when I will have some free money for another cat-back.

Thanks, I actually left the spacers out at first but because of my screwed up muffler I had to put them in to lift the car up a little. The pics are without the spacers, but the front wheels have a weird offset and are tucked in which gives it a not that low illusion. You have to view the car from a low view point to see the correct fender gap. If that makes sense.
