my girl is lowered now

[J. Henley 17]

Looks great... I assume you don't have to go over any speedbumps or steep driveways?

[Tyler]

i dont mean to be the bad guy here.. it looks good but the front is sitting higher now...

[TILLEY]

That looks sexy. Did you install them yourself? Ive been thinking about lowering mine but i dont want to compromise drivability. How is it on speedbumps and stuff?

I was just about to ask that same question

[kristen]

i did do it myself. the front isn't higher it's just the shadows at dusk. the only drive way that was bad to go out on is ok. i'm not grinding or anything. i haven gone over speed bumps yet. i drove it for a while and it doesn't feel any worst i already had my bilsteins. so nothing really changed

Your car is ridiculously sexy.

Could be cool to paint and clear with some silver inserts...

Definetly looks more than an inch, especially in the rear. Maybe it's because the body kit makes it look lower?

She is coming out great. keep it up.

Kristen, the car is coming along wonderfully. I have your same color and just got rid of the front license plate so I have a grille like yours. The only thing I've done to it is locate some aluminum CAMARO letters for the front which really breaks up the big black grille and compliments the pewter color. You'd think with aluminum it would be too silver but it looks just right. I'd keep the stock grille. It looks perfect.

Also, I'm getting ready to put black stripes on the car but mine will end at the nose and spoiler most likely and round off with pinstripes. My car looks awesome with the black halos as well and I'd recommend those but they don't adjust worth crap. I have a noticable difference in gap between the driver's and passenger's side. I play with them from time to time but they need to be functional and I'm not about to blind some poor soul just to get the car looking good during the day.

I am also curious... how much more difficult is it to keep the car from scraping now that the whole thing has been lowered an inch? It looks great like that but I'd worry about scrubbing the nose everytime I went somewhere with a dip.

[Question]

Looks awesome, nice work!

How was the install?

[kristen]

install wasn't hard it just takes time. the part that i hate the most is colap. the springs. bigest pita. the rear were easy. i would do it again in a second. like i said a few post up, there is one drive way that i was scared to bottom out on. and that is where i changed the springs. i got out of the drive with no problem. just have to pull out on a slant. no biggie. don't mean to toot her horn but, god she looks great.
