Please excuse the extremely filthy pics of my car. I just want to start saving up for my suspension and really want to set my eye on the prize. RK and Pdrift, these photos I mocked up in photoshop but it is exactly where I wanna be as far as my drop goes. Do you all think that Tanabe's (already have DF210's not yet installed) can achive this drop or close to it? Or is this low enough to where I need to go with the Megans? I tried to eyeball it to what I think the Tanabe's would be but I have no idea how low it really is. I just wanna get close to this stance and keep the Tanabe's would be easier for me... Thanks in advance.

the tanabes will feel like stock if not a little softer when u corner.
the megans will help it corner a LOT flatter.

Thanks for the quick post, P drift, I am not worried about cornering I baby her and use her as a cruiser. However, would the Tanabe's get me this low??? I tried to not slam in too much in photoshop!

Looks great RK! Almost just like the chop. What are the size/offset of the wheels? Very very nice.

Not to steal RK's thunder by going off topic, but L-sport, to get as low as you want in those chopp'd pics, I pretty sure you'll have to go with coilovers.

I think I got all you guys beat on the V8 badging. Funny no one noticed them in the before and after photos I posted, my dad had the V8 badges I put on for him from a BMW, chrome pillars and clear bumper blinker lights. The before pic was taken in late 2003 and they were already on there for a while a HOT one already by then.
