hey karl, looking good! coilovers are wicked FUN... its like a new car, when i did mine, i dropped it hard, then couldn't get the jack out! had to raise it a bit to be streetable, but i found that perfect happy medium where it doesn't scrape anywhere on my normal route. Keep up the good work! hope to get the full effect at november taco! if we do it....

You must have some stiff springs to keep that from chewing into your fender...

Would like to get a ride sometime to see how it compares to mine sometime. Have you done (or needed to do) the pillowballs / bushings yet?

Glad you raised it up. Doesnt look riced out now. Still think your gonna have fun with your wiring harness after you burn through it. That is if you dont blow your motor after one of your oil cooler gets raped.

On a side note, make sure you get a 4 wheel alignment once you get all your ride height finalized or your gonna smoke your tires before you realize it.
