I got my car lowered. What do you think?
 
The box said 1.8" in the front and 1.7" in the back but it seems pretty level to me. Having an alignment problem (I had a friend lower it for me) It feels like a drifter at the moment lol, but itll be fixed in a day or two. Here is how she sits at the moment in front of my house.

Before my alignment problem started getting out of hand. The handling was unbelieveable. Ive driven some nice cars in my life but nothing like this. I cant wait to get it fixed lol

Yea i should, and i will, but im on a bit of a budget at the moment. The car feels fine i just need this alignment done.

what happened with your alignment?

MidEngine4Life 05-15-2006 01:01 AM

It was never right and it had a bit of a toe and it just got worse and worse

Toe issues should never get worse. Either someone whacked a curb and fucked up the steering rack before you got it, or the tierods are going out.

The springs look good though, but since you dropped it over 1.5" you're going to need to readjust the camber, otherwise your tires wont last 6 months.

Well hopefully i can get everything sorted out tomorrow

The new springs look good! Real good! I actually bought some springs for my car a couple months ago.. haven't gotten a chance to find someone to put them on for cheap.

How's the ride on the old shocks?
