    Hi Johnny, I'm ok.

    Believe me, I have been seriously pondering such a set-up for my ride. I just cannot make a firm decision yet as to the best approach, seeing as how I plan on doing some drag racing, yet want to have the "canyon carving" capabilities that I can so easily find a need for here.

    Besides, I like the look!

    Good luck with your engine project. Be prepared for many changes as you go.

    No, I don't use MSN messenger anymore, but I have been keeping my Yahoo messenger open lately.

    A I glad to hear you are fine. I have ask for the price of teh coil-overs again. When you wanted to have a complete adjustible setup, then you have to pay about 3000 € without tax and shipping. The setup with non adjustible shocks (only hight) the are cheaper. I use the full race shocks.

    I donot use yahoo mess, only msn mess.

    Punch man that is low! how did you get yours so low like that? I know you posted here about it but you did a 2 inch drop? [/B]
    Hi, sorry it took so long to answer you, I miss read your reply, and thought the question was for someone else.
    So that I dont have to explain the whole process, look back a few pages on this thread, and it'll show you how we did the lowering.
    I did go a little more then the "average" person would usaully go,
    After going through the process of lowering, I took out the rubber pads that the leaf spring rest on in the a-arm or a-frame, I cut away some of it so it'll still have some pading there.
    I dont have "coil over", cant afford them, so I make do with what I have.
    Oh! to answer your question about how much I dropped the car, dont know for sure, 2, 2 1/2 inch drop? I know that it is physiclly impossibel for me to drop it any futher unless I go to a different suspension

    Default This my vette

    The first testride I did the cornering if I had chewinggum under my tires, but I thought it feels to hard, because it is also for fun for the lady's I think. So I raised the coils in the rear (that's now 1" between the tire and the fender) I cut of the rear fender for 0,5 " and the grandsportfender (inside) about 0,75". I set the bound and rebout slightly softer........
