Ok peoples I finally have all 4 of my wheels and tires mounted. SInce last week i lowerd the front. At first I thought it may have been a tick to much but I am loving it now. I took the Eibach's out as I thougt they were softer than my F41 springs. So I took a coil and a half out of the F41 springs and got the tire up into the wheel well. Now I also put in new Energy Suspension bushngs, New endlinks with ploy bushings, all new ball joints, plus new shocks. Today I got alignmentdone today when I got the last 2 tires mounted. Now I had planned on mounting my coilovers on the rear as my wife made me the brackets. That was until I noticed the coilover bodies are too long for where I wanted to put them So I guess I can't use the Nice aluminum body Afco's that I have. I will have to by regular shorter ones. It sucks to have something you can't use. I think the rear needs to come down atleast an inch more. Anyway here are the pics. I still need to clean them better and polish the lip.

Looking good! I've always had a soft spot for the more unusual builds.

Looks very good. I do think the body needs 'something' though, but I'm not sure. That's alot of flat black!
