Re: new wheels, brakes and lowered

there idea of adjustable is you jack up car, compress spring to get at the nut that happens to sit right in our cozy spring holder. you can't see it unless you compress spring other than that nice system except they call them coilovers and with our cars not really.

That is a gorgeous setup, my friend. Especially loving those big beefy rear calipers

Re: new wheels, brakes and lowered

Dang man! I want to go all the way just once in my life. I have Stoptech's on the front but the budget got busted for a year. If things pick up I'll ........ good for you and it looks great. Now, tell me how it stops.
