It seems to me that with the SRA design we have it wouldn't really change anything lowering it. Front shouldn't be pretty simple with the C/C plates.

I've never done it but I have been reading up on it and watching lots of videos. Doesn't look all that hard.. I plan to give it a try pretty soon.
Lowering will shift the rear axle to the drivers side. Some cars more than others. Some are off from the factory.

Just make sure to do it on as slick of a surface as possible. Turn plates are the best, but who has $700 to blow on those. Try a smooth concrete floor, maybe with some water or dish soap underneath the tire.

Thats the thing. I have to go buy furniture tomorrow as I have none. I came down early to set everything up and my father is coming down tonight with the trailer full of my stuff. He had to wait on the gf being that she's a teacher and she wanted to tag along (naturally). Any recommendations? Anyone looking to redecorate? I'll provide moving service lol

A lot of people suggest a couple of super cheap Walmart non stick pizza or cookie sheets.
