You've got a real winner there! Congrats!!!!

As I scrolled through I was saying to myself "drop it, drop it, drop it, drop it..." then when I saw the springs I was like "thank god". Stance is EVERYTHING on these cars. Yours is picture perfect!

What performance mods do you have planned?

thanks!, well so far the reason i did these mods was to get rid of the awful handling, wheel hop, and the 3rd gear mis shifts. now its actually putting power to the ground and hooking and booking thanks to those relo brackets and lca's. ive been toying around with getting the paxton blower next.
