H&R SS and CC Plates installed...looks sweet.

Installed the H&R SS springs and MM C/C plates today, took about 4.5 hours, but it was well worth it. It brought it down low...and I like it. I havent gotten an alignment yet...bc I just did it today, and the pics are right after I set it down. Here's the before and after measurements.

Drivers Front..........Before 27 3/4----After 25 3/8
Passengers Front....Before 27 3/4----After 25 1/2

Drivers Rear...........Before 27 5/8----After 26 1/2
Passengers Rear.....Before 27 5/8----After 26 3/4

After she settles n a week or 2 you might have to put the rear back in,

Still looks sick.

What shocks/struts are you running?

Re: H&R SS and CC Plates installed...looks sweet.

Looks really good, I think I do see a lot of negative camber up front there still. Have you had an alignment done yet?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, I like the way it sits now, but if the rear drops too much more, I'm definetly putting in the other rear isolator.

For shocks/struts...until next week....stock, have the Tokico D-Specs on their way though....can't wait. Next weekends project...

Re: H&R SS and CC Plates installed...looks sweet.

Looks good now, definitely plan on it dropping some more. Might be too low once it does settle but I love the look now. Everytime I see these pics I just keep thinking how much I need to lower mine.
