Nice tow hook ;)

The front is untouched, for some reason I always end up ass towards the track when they have to fish me out, so the rear one looks like hell lol

Well if anything on your car is going to show wear, worn tires and tow hook at least show that you've been having fun :good:

Finally got around to installing my coilovers.
 
I can still go down about 25 threads on them.
 




 
I imagine they will settle another 1/4 inch, then I will see if I want any lower.
 
The framerail is about 2 3/4 or 3 " from the ground as it sits fresh off of the jack stands (stock jack no longer fits...)

Got any rubbing on those front wheels? Those are seriously tucked.  :good:

Oh, pics far enough away to see the whole car from the side would be appreciated. Get a clearer picture of the overall effect of the drop

I will take some more pics tomorrow hopefully.
I am going to have to figure out how to get it out of the garage.

These will have to do, as I need to go get some wood to make ramps. It wont make it out the garage.
 
Its tilted a bit in the front on pic case a rear tire is a bit low.

the wheels are 15 x 8

and I had 225/45/15 tires on there before, but now due to the ride height I am running 205/50/15s
I will prolly go to a 205/45/15 next time around
