Jeez, im not understanding why i cant get my car to have a stance like that.

What do you guys do as far as camber, suspension to have it done?

Either way, car looks great.

Gentlemen,

As the former owner, I am grateful for the comments. Your comments let me know that I did a pretty good job of taking care of her.

A big shout out to Dan Rose of Mr. Spoiler, who painted the car. See him for your painting needs.

Also a shout out to Peter Farrell for selling me the car, as well as Ray and Ryan for keeping her on the road.

The stance comes from the Tien coilovers and the car has been lowered 1 3/4 inches all around.

Ryan, take good care of my baby (I know you will)

Steve

He pretty much already sold it off to Jon from what I hear.
That did not last long.

Wha What? So which is it then?? Jons says your selling it him and your saying no way. I can see that you could turn a dolla but it's a nice car to just let go so soon.
I'd keep her if I were you but you already know what I think.

Rikki,

As I just sold you that car and as I am an Airborne, Ranger qualified Infantryman, with over 25 years of military experience, you know that if you sell that car within the next year I will hunt you down!!!

Don't get me wrong, Jon is a great guy, but you gave me right of first refusal!! So after you jack the price up on me then you can sell it to Jon.

Hrm, there's a hurt looking Montego BAse that isn't on the forums but lives in Crofton. My Montego hasn't been on the road in forever. And there's a VR and a white that live in the Crofton / Grambrills / Odenton area that I see from time to time...
