[AlSwank]

hot damn! How about the rear? Can go a lot lower too? I am loving BWS more and more every waking minute. Can't wait for my set to come in!

Nah rear is at it's lowest but I'm changing up my setup so I can drop it more.

How do you change it to make it drop lower?

Been slacking a little on working on the car so not much new besides getting the control arms in and dropping the rear way down. Check out some cell phone pics i took while getting the camber arms on and an update on how the car is sitting.....looks bagged


installing these was a bit of a pain. A lot more trouble than i expected for just 4 bolts.

What I did was unbolt the shocks to take some pressure off then removed the bolts by the brakes. completely removed the rear most bolt holding the differential and loosened up the two bolts on the front of it so that I could move the differential up and slightly forward to get to the inner bolts holding the control arm. I DID NOT need to take out the axle like most people say needs to be done, you just need to shake em out once the bolts are unthreaded. You spend the most time just turning bolts on this install because of how poorly positioned they are.

This is how the car is sitting after the install(sorry for awful pics-plan on doing another shoot soon)





I need to align the rears badly the toe is wayyy off and causing the tire and lip to hit part of the fender. Once that's done ill drop the front more and dial everything in. Still waiting on some parts coming from europe, in the mean time i'm gonna start fabricating my own exhaust and shaving/cleaning up engine bay so stay tuned for that...lemme know what you guys think!

I mean most 18 year olds are still being supported by their parents anyway and I'm in college man.... Not sure what you were trying to say with all that?

Can we all get back to talking about cars?

I was basically saying that a lot of people usually get shit for being young and being able to afford nice, expensive parts while still staying at home, that was my main point. Just the wheels and the Broadway coils already equal up to the value of the car, so with that, the typical "assumption" would be that you're some broke 18 yr old kid that got it all thanks to their parents. Obviously, I'm not saying that's you in this case but I was giving you props, not talking shit.



Car looks real good in the rear.
