good or bad, let me know what you think.

That's pretty low. Looks good, but how is performance? What kind of struts are you running? They'll probably give out pretty soon.

SlopPerformance May-9th-2003 04:46 PM

hahaha struts....they are so blown. Once i get some money im going to get them. I figured, they are shot now, so i might as well drop it as much as i can. The handling is crazy. I can take turns with speed and still control it. Its a bouncy ride though, my girlfriend hates it, but everytime i hop i get a smile.

Bruce95fmla May-9th-2003 04:48 PM

hold on what are you using to drop the car, why it is so low

and do you have any full car pics ...
run out and take some

Identity_X May-9th-2003 04:50 PM

Yeah, I can only imagine how bouncy it is with the blown struts.:D
When are you planning to replace them? What kind?
And finally, will you still keep it slammed with the new ones?;)

funkdaddysmack May-9th-2003 04:52 PM

Damn dude, that is really low :)

protegeDX May-9th-2003 04:54 PM

nice lookin drop, what kinda fogs are those? :D they look pretty hot.

SlopPerformance May-9th-2003 05:12 PM

im gonna get KYB struts, the ones from Corksport. They are Drop Zone coilovers. The spring rests on a metal sleeve that turns to raise/lower it. i just took the sleeve out so the spring is resting on the perch. Im gonna keep it hammered once i get the struts.

The fog lights are made by Hella. They are bright as shit man. Theres two modes, full fog, and angel eyes. The angels are real cool, go to your local auto store they should have them.

Theres two more pics up now, full frontals. haha.
I work at car dealership so im getting it sprayed in july. Im hung up on what color. Subaru makes a black with red pearl that i like, im thinking about actually doing the olive drab, or red. We'll see.

a set of Rota Circuit 8's are on the way too.

Bruce95fmla May-9th-2003 05:22 PM

hmmm, I am wondering if you should even bother to get kyb's or new shocks with the car that low, mainly because the they will go bad in no time ..
But then if you live in an are that has decent roads.. aka not new york, philly , or chicago ...
then you should be ok with the kyb ...
Great work, I am glad to see you modding your car

picture tip
 
try this ,, while it is still day light outside...
park the car in the middle of the street and turn the wheel out a little then get real close and frame the car in the camera window.. do this from the front and the back .. make sure you get down to the level of the car...
Try this from the front and the back
