I love the stance you got. Did you use lowering springs ?

No actually its moroso trick springs which I believe are small block springs with a big block sitting on them. They are the springs that were in the car when I bought it. I loved the stance too, so I never changed them. It doesnt handle terrible, but if I tried to get a picture like Derek posted of his, my driver side door handle would be sparking on the ground probably.

I had a set of those springs on our car for years. Man they sagged something fierce and as you said handled like crap. Looked cool as hell though

We just swapped in a set of Hotckis 1" lowering springs. I am very curious as to how they will handle.

Ya I think I will be hitting up Derek soon enough for some advice on good front springs that will keep the car sitting close to where it is and handle well also. He is the man for that sort of thing.

I used Hotchkis 1" lowering springs on mine all the way around too. Haven't had a chance to test the ride yet though. I've heard they are pretty tight.
