I'd have to go back to buddies shop to tell you that heh. Have it written down.


First time on coils so don't wanna drive super low yet, even though I feel that I am lower then most people. I wanted to be a little higher, but so far I'm liking were I am at now, just need a little adjusting. Long day yesterday putting them on, so when I took them off the jacks I kept them the way they were heh.

what part of Richmond are you at? Their headquarters isnt that far away from me either. I may have to get up with you to check out the stance on those coils.

Not yet. I will get one when I get my new wheels on, as of right now i need to get new tires for them since the tires on the wheels currently are a goofy setup in my opinion. Should i try to find a shop that can put up with a lowered car, or will any place due?

Love the drop. Didn't know Fortune was on the East Coast, let alone, so close to where I do normal family visits (Dad is from Richmond and I hit a lot of Durham/Henderson NC). You got any more shots of the car?

Lowered+shop is all relative. It really depends on HOW lowered you are and what shop you deal with. Me, for instance, I happen to go to a local Ford shop with my lowered cars. Why, you ask? Well, 1) they deal with a lot of Shelbys and Boss's, usually lowered, that do track work (Watkins Glenn) so they have equipment to facilitate a lowered car 2) I know the techs there and I can do a large majority of my own work in the air as opposed to on the ground. I have friends in similar situations that do pretty much the same.

If you don't have ramps, it may be a pain to get your car airborn and that will turn off a lot of places. Especially if you don't already have a relationship with'em.
