Default Springs and Badges

Here you are, pics of the car lowered. The car handles awesome and it has had minimal impact on the ride. It is a little firmer but not so much that one would notice unless it was brought to their attention. I have also finished painting my badges. They are a charcoal grey but it is really hard to tell in the pics. They are much darker than they look. Look at the 2.3 on the side shot of the car, you can see them but they blend nicely with the background color. No more loud chrome.

Thanks Scott for your assistance on the spring mod. Your are correct, it is awesome!

Looks very nice. Did you just do the springs and rear camber? No struts?

Yes, just springs and links. My understanding is the stock struts should perform just fine with this set-up. We'll see.

You"ll be fine with them.You"ll probably want to upgrade the struts/shocks long before the OE"s wear out w/that set-up, at least imo.

BTW: Give it a few more days and the suspension will settle down a bit more. You might lose another 1/4" or so. Remember to get a fullalignment though.....

I also like the badges. They are subtle, yet are still there.MUCH better than the plain ole" black every one is doing. I like it!!
