dropped it finally
Finaly got it dropped! Event though its hard to get out of my garage now I love the way she looks.
Picked the springs and shocks from a local for $50 thanks from a tip from "SpiralOut"  .
A sidenote: This my $50 dollar paint job all done by the way. Color sanded and buffed.

That is reallllly clean man. Good work.
I know what you mean, it's hard to get out of your garage.
I can't park in the driveway because of mine, really frustrating.

A guy on craigslist was selling them because he just upgraded to full adjustable meagan set up. He wanted $75 but he said hell take $50.
He's a real cool dude with a super clean 98 gsx. Man that car sounded like two pit bulls, MEAN!!! |
