How Low CAN he go?

**atruhondagrl** · 10-27-2006, 07:46 PM

The Blue Meanie has a new set of legs!!!!

Just got my car back from the shop today. I had the suspension installed. I'm suprised at how the car feels over Pennsylvania's crappy roads. I had Skunk2 sleeved coilovers and KYB AGX shocks on my del sol and even on a relatively soft setting, I felt like I was in a stiff go cart. This ride feels great! Stiff enough, soft enough all at once.

My new set up is TEIN SS full coilovers, EDFC, Progress sway bar, SPC camber kit. God, this thing is low. No rubbing or other issues yet and I did all sorts of crazy 8's and stuff in a parking lot.

Sorry for the crappy pics. I was in a rush. I'll take better ones later after I clean the beast.

and an early photoshopped version of what my drop would have looked like. No I didn't do the chop. Another member did. Maybe he's.... psychic?

BLU BY U · 10-27-2006, 07:52 PM
