    Some pics. Front suspension is all together and rides great. A little stiffer but nowhere near dump truck status. I am damn happy with how everything turned out.
















    Anyone notice anything new on the car???

      The shot with the birds is freaky. Looks great! If you want to you could cut 1/4 to 1/2 coil off the front and really have it sitting mean.

          Thank you very much

          Yes that is a very odd shot. Looks like I placed them in the photo. lol

          I will give her some time to settle..though I am happy that the front looks lower than the back already that I may not touch them.

          After (drop front and rear):

          Thanks Andrew. Next season they will go on the car.

          Nobody find what was added to the car?? Hint: something that was purchased a long long time ago near the beginning of this thread.

                        Looks good. Slight rake is good, now make sure your headlights are still aimed proper-like.

                          Thank you Thain.

                          I never touched them after I had the wagon springs installed so maybe they are still aimed correctly. lol

                              I notice a disgruntled looking father sitting in the passenger's seat...

                              And your house has a slate roof.

                              The car looks good David. I think thats the same spring combo I have in the white box. My car sits more level than that though, and I also find the rid quality objectionable. I don't know what it is. Maybe the shocks are too weak for the set-up.

                              I am going to run it out in the spring, and see if I think it can be corrected. If not, its going to get some slinky springs front and rear, with drag shocks.
