Hahaha Thanks man!  I Installed the coilovers now the car is BEGGING for new shoes!  Next on the list lol  With them adjusted all the way down the car was too low to drive with the stock wheels haha The car rides great now like a bimmer should!



Super dumped on stockies lmao  The neighbor at the smog shop asked if we installed air bags lmao!  3 Minutes later we were terrorizing the street in front of the shop testing out the suspension!!

Well, that looks like hell.   If you're going for the broken drifter look, make sure and kick in a fender and tear the bumper off while you're at it.

That pic was with the coilovers all the way down, it wasn't drive able like that.  I raised it up and it now looks like a lowered E39 that needs wheels badly lol

HAhah Yea no worries blake that thing was sitting on the tires lol!  Even with it a few inches up it's tough to get on the lift.  It needs new wheels and then I can adjust the suspension too sit properly, it def. looks ghetto tuckin stock wheels lol  I'm just happy that it rides good ow and dosent feel like an old caddy!

Here is how it sits now
