323 is slammed

just wanted to let you guys know i put my coilovers on this past week. The 323 is crushed now. Its probably dropped about 3 inches now. 323 suspension is really easy to do. I'll have some pics up soon once i paint it.





92 - 323.

Im gonna get pics up as soon as i get my brothers digital camera. I used drop zone coilovers for a 91-96 escort. they fit perfectly. Struts are on the way. Its really not that bumpy of a ride and cornering is superb. i didnt measure it but id say its around 2.5 - 3 drop its pretty low for a 323 ( unlike the hondas that drop to the ground). I got the coilovers off of Ebay for like $170 shipped. They arent the best but its better than paying $400 for the ground controll.

Ummmm, you didn't have to be driving on route 15 last night below lewisburg around 9:30-10ish did you? I passed a green 323 with 17s it looked, I was in my protege though.
