Sick5.0LX

Hey guys... I bought my car knowing I had a lot of work in front of me. It came with this nasty wheels and tires, and sat up like a 4x4. I lowered with it SpringTech springs... 1.9" lowering springs (even though I think they are lower), with 245/45/17 cobra wheels. What do you think?? Too low? Fenders are rolled now too, so there is very little rubbing. Springs were only $142 shipped, and so far, drive very nicely... WAY better than I expected with $150 springs. KYB shocks, by the way.

That looks 100x better. now i need to do mine. How hard was it to switch out the springs?

Thanks man... It was hard.. but mainly cause my undercarriage has a lot of surface rust. I had to cut my sway bar bolts/bushing off on the fronts (only $11 each from PepBoys), and I took off the brakes/calipers to pull them off. the rears I dropped the whole rearend down... fronts took about 3 hours thanks to the rust, and the rears was about the same. I needed a spring compressor, which I already had on hand too.

haha thanks Pro, good catch... Adder caught that last time, somehow I didn't! I promptly switched the RL and RF tires around.

And mjr, when I first lowered it, I stood back and said to myself, "Self, is this too low?" I still don't know how I totally feel about it, but it definitely an improvement I think. I am not planning on putting different springs in there, and the more I see it, the more it grows on me... (or possibly I am just convincing myself I like it so I don't buy a new set! ).

I think it is to low for daily but for track use it looks right on. Looks alot better though.
