Nice stance, TK. What suspension mods did you do to achieve that stance?

Eibach lowering springs.
Lots of aftermarket parts, but springs for the lowered stance.

That settles it! I'm doing springs too.... heard all kinds of arguments, but the stance assistance and the stiff spring rate makes me want to do springs too. After going through a few bumps and turns with the 170K mile, 20 years old stock springs.. I can feel that they need some RnR!

Thanks

Thats all? Are they trimmed? I have never seen them go that low. Looks AWESOME!

Yep, other than tubular uppers and lowers in the front, adjustable uppers and boxed lowers in the rear, QA1's, the springs dropped it that much. I did massage the outer fender lip just slightly on the rear, clears up front (just got to watch out for real bad bumps)
I notched the frame to tuck the rears in, those are 315's on the back.

TKGN1 how long did it take for your eibachs to settle? do the tube a arm's add any lowering?

Don't believe there was any settling of the springs, they have been the same since installed.
I did the tubulars at the same time I installed the springs, so not sure if the tubulars contributed to the drop, I doubt they did but not sure.

some tube's adjust ball joint height to correct geometry.
