update time!

Time to update the progress on my winter projects. Everything is not done yet, but i have been making slow progress (school/work/bball get in the way, same old story :D  ). But, I managed to get the 8.8" in, with the CHE upper/lowers, Eibach springs in the back , and new shocks. I now have to get the brakes hooked up and the emergency brake cables. I did not get to get before measurments, but i can only look at pictures. I am guessing about 1 1/4" drop, and it is tight :D I cant wait to drive it!! Now i m trying to decide what springs are going in the front, i am leaning toward just foxstang springs(progressive), cuz I can get my hands on them easy for under $80 new. We will see. I will have to wait till after inspection for the ATR exhaust, it has no cat and wont pass emissions i doubt. So, progress is being made, just figured i would update... lemme know if your interested in pics... ;) :D

Here are a couple quick pictures that I took. The digi-camera ran outta batteries, so I will have to wait until I get new batteries to get better pictures. Its inside, so I cant really compare it to the front to show you, but here it is. Notice the difference in the between the front and back. Mind you, the back used to sit slightly higher! ;) Stay tuned for better pictures!
