Here are some more pics of my car pre-lowered. Hi res pictures coming next week after the springs are installed.

The car looks clean and nicely done!

My 2 cents;
- A chrome grill would match your rims!
- Ditch the "Blow Me" plate, neither you nor the car needs it!

ejsheltra

Agreed!!! Blow me plate sounds too much like a juvenile attempt at being cool. Black grill doesn't cut it on this car and your color combination.This is a classic car not a ricer. Elegance grill and a more thoughtful front plate would do wonders. Does need lowering though and the rest looks great. Best of luck with your project.

I am only 18, so the blow me plate fits. It is a joke so please dont get offended.
But I couldn't stand the oem chrome grille.
Lowering springs are on order so I'll have more pictures to come.

My car has 17s as well but yours look tiny. What size tires are those?

desired_speeds

tires are way too small. You need some 225/45/17s. Those 205s have a smaller contact patch than what came on the stock 16s. But yea, some proper sized tires and a drop will make it look much better.

I am stretching the tires, that is why they appear very small.

So the h&r springs only offer a 1.3 front and 1.4 rear drop.
Decided to go eibach, it is 1.6" all around and I getting #1 bump pads for the springs which should give me a 2" drop or more. Update coming soon with pictures.

you could have gone with h&r cup kit and it gives a 2" drop. moar low

EDIT: also, what tires did you stretch? looking for some LM's that I think would look good with stretch
get on stanceworks

I'm stetching tire, your just doing it wrong..

with that tire, you can be draggin undercarige and still have wheelgap..

markusr15

I am cutting the h&r's if they are not low enough... I purposely got that tire size, I know I could of got higher profile etc. I got the car for dirt cheap and I could care less about it really, its just for school and something to put miles on. tires are really cheap too, like maybe $200 anyways.

Shipping is lagging, got the shims, but the springs have not come yet.
