Default Put in some V6 springs yesterday

So after pretty much doing jack all the past month+ with Sciatica, I got bored to the point of wanting to do something. So after owning this car for 2+ years with stock springs, I finally decided to put in some stock V6 front springs my buddy gave me for free.

They are supposed to be similar to fox 4cyl springs so I decided to give it a shot. I cut a coil off them and used the stock isolators. For rears are still stock for now but I have a pair of 86+ fox V8 rear springs which i'm going to cut and put in later.

Got me about a 1.5" drop, once everything settled. A bit more than I wanted (roads in Los Angeles are ****) but thats fine.













I know the car is filthy, but i'm not too inclinded on washing it at the moment lol

the backs pretty high? you should do a .5- 1 inch drop out back if your going for a raked look.

lol like I said, the rears are still stock. I have a pair of 86+ fox body V8 springs in line waiting to be cut and put in. I just did the fronts first and i'm planning on doing the rears asap but Sciatica is holding me back lol

Could use more of a drop honestly, even if the roads in LA suck.

Do you notice the front end lifting up more @ WOT compared to before?
