Default WOW - What a difference!!

Okay, okay.... I'm a believer! I've been listening to so many of you talk about how much fun it is to drop these babies down, I just couldn't ignore you any longer. So, this week I had H&R coil-overs installed and I've now joined the "other-side". I love the look and the feel!!

I have before and after pics I'd love to post but it says they're too large. ??

You sound like me. Been dreaming about suspension since reading all these posts regarding the metamorphoses of our P-cars as a result.
I want a new car too.
Damn wife wants to go to Hawaii She is relentless and requires me to keep her well traveled, in diamonds and Prada.
Suspension money has to come from the money tree I planted in the back yard. I see a few buds forming but will have to wait till spring. Then: Then I can have some fun, I hope, please, thank you very much.
Here she is on our last trip to Europe, god help me.

I'll tell you what, I'll bring the Scotts turf builder if you let me have a few buds from this tree so I can plant one in my back yard

With lowering don't you have more problems with bottoming out?
I have to take it easy as it is at stock height...

Chris,

The money tree is a metaphor for my new business and, god willing, it will generate enough income to pay for some toys.

I have a horrible transition from my driveway to the street and had some scraping issues with my car at stock ride height, which was many moons ago. However, Gert's fpb and a 45 degree angle of attack prevents most of the front end scrapes. My car is about as low as you can go.

I agree with mark. My car is very low and I installe Gerts bar and take every incline/decline at an angle and it works out well. If you have trouble with a driveway, just drive up the lawn on an angle instead.........
