need to take some pics, have one right after i did it, but it settled a bit. I am back in town now. need to get an alignment for sure. it rides okay (as in no shakes) but it doesn't feel as tight as before. pete is not in service right now, and i am not about to drive all the way up to richmond to take it to pearson. i will likely just take it to firestone, as soon as i have time. i love the stance, may still want to do the spring mount cutting, but i may not, i am happy with it overall.

Dude firestone will charge you just as much, take it to Pete at pearson least that way you know he knows how to properly operate the aftermarket arms and do a through alignment

Just my. 02 as Tony says


Edit: forgot to say how sweet the ride looks! Can't wait to see it after the fender rolling and spacers for flushness

I need to look up a DIY for removing the tailights so we can swap

Kenny, from the looks of the pics above u dont have spacers on the rear? If not, then get u some spacers/rear fender rolled first then get it aligned then from Pete, those guys at Firestone dont know what the hell they are doing once our cars have been lowered.

btw: the G is coming along nicely from wanting to get rid of it.......lmao!! mod bug bit your azz hard......bwahahaha!!

hes got spacers for front and rear, has Steves number for fender rolling too so it should be legit after all that..... maybe the spring mound mod too


Tony i think you were talking about wanting to go lower in the rear you could do that too

I have considered doing the spring mount mod as well but am still on the fence about it. I may decide to go coilovers, who knows???? if not then i also have to consider how much weight i will be adding to the rear with stereo equipment.

Welcome and congrats on the purchase! No worries, i sold my 95 lude to get my G since the wife said i only had a maximum limit of 2 cars in the driveway/garage. Like Ryan said, come out this Saturday and meet up with some of us guys! Should be a good event.....hope to see you out.
Tony
