Mach update... w/ lots of pics!
Hey guys haven't posted in a while but just got a chance to wash the car and to take some pics of the mach today even though the weather wasn't that great. It was pretty overcast so the pics kinda suck but there are a few that I like.
Also did some stuff to the car recently, including painting the calipers red (which you can hardly see in the pics but I think they look pretty good), adding mach 1 floor mats, and installing the JLT intake. Next up will probably be some suspension work as I obviously need a lowering job very badly... enjoy.

Did springs, took to get aligned, had to get plates to further camber. Wouldn't be necessary w/ isos but the drop would be less. For a drop w/ isos I like H&R supersports as they sit similar maybe a tad lower. We get a 6% forum discount @ americanmuscle.com and they sell springs and plates. Did the install of both myself w/ a buds help to save $, not too hard w/ a basic set of spring compressors. If you get around to doing an install and have questions just PM me and I'll help any way I can.

I'd never done either before so it took some time, 5 hrs. for the springs and 3 hrs. for the plates. If I'd done both at the same time atleast an hour would've been saved from the car already been jacked and the strut already dropped for the plate install. An air ratchet is very helpful for undoing the shock tower strut nut.
