DAMN… Lowered 1.5 inches and windows blacked out.Well months have passed and I finally got around to installing my lowering springs and shocks. This setup not only makes it look sick, but really improves the handling of the car.
I started with the rear. The operation went real smooth. The only tricky part was lowering the differential in unison as the shocks were removed.
Here is a height comparison of the new and old springs.
New springs and shocks look a lot cleaner too.
The front was a real pain in the ass. A lot more stuff to get out of the way: Sway bar, Brake calipers, Brake rotors, Steering tie-rod and finally the Control arm. The tie-rods and control arm wouldn’t budge. I finally took out a sledge hammer and beat the hell out of it. Finally they gave way.
I was on a mission to get the front finished so I
didn’t stop to take any pictures, or eat for that matter. This is the front already installed.
