Im running the stock springs and struts i havent had a problem yet and i like the way it transfers.

1.522 60ft on a soft launch but im going to let it all out soon everyones leaving me behind.

The one shot down the side from the back shows about 1/2 inch cleareance to the inerfender if you measure straight up! And its going to pull in on launch.

Toe link and trailing arm clear about 1/2-3/4.

Studs are 3.25 arp.

Im not much for slaming my car on the ground and get some **** from younger friends but i drive it on week ends and the nose drags now at times.

I have numbers if interested.

Thanks Vinnie for posting the picts now quit making wise *** remarks about my studs!

Armor All on your slicks


little bit of paint thinner on a rag go's a long way dude, gives you a nice deep back look. unless you like the obama shine

Im headed to street machines in the morning its all show and no go!

Its gonna rain but im setting under my ez-up in my lawn chair with a top on it and have a few beers and swishers.

And listen to all the rednecks ask what is it, wheres the motor, is it fast, why is an old man driving that car, i always say i dont know what it is the tags feel off and thats a beer keg under the hood and its a turd. Its a lot of fun!
