yep thats the same pic.

I have RB springs but the rear still is really high. Has anyone cut their rear springs to lower the rear? I read somewhere that our cars handle better with the front higher than the rear. I know there are adj spring perches but I dont need adjustables.

The only problem with screwing with cutting the springs is you have to be real careful about your choice of cutting methods. If you just use a torch or something, it will totally screw up your spring rate. For use on the street, I would't recommend messing with them. I am sure the people at Racing Beat have a little better research and development department then " Buddy's backyard garage ". I haven't touched mine and they will scrub the rear tires with a passenger, a full tank of gas, and oh yeah, the speaker box with the two 10's. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Yes, that was mine. I wish they stuck a pic of the motor and some of the mods in the ad also but maybe next time.

I hope to have the 79 SA/GSL/TII done buy the next deals gap run so I can mess/hang with the turbo cars.

Here is a pic that should have gone with that one,
