I think I remember him saying that some of the roads up there were kind of harsh, which is why I said RIP front bumper lol.

I wish I could lower my mustang more, but I have to deal with 8 speed bumps everytime I leave and return to my apartment complex, it is not fun

The front air dam on a vette is angled. It's actually an air scoop that forces air to the radiator. It's spring loaded and will fold up upon hitting something. There are 2 angled square tube bars at the front that save the entire front end if you bottom it out going in/out of a parking lot or something. You'd have to drive in to a high curb or hit something vertical to damage any body panels or the like. The air damn is sacrificial.

The torque tube and exhaust rides high in a sheet metal tunnel. They have deceptively good ground clearance over speed bumps etc. They have 2" more clearance than an equivalent height F-body.

Damn. It'd look pretty mint sitting flush. No, not hellaflush cambered out, just flush.


It won't go any lower without coilovers, and it is deceptively low as is.

Looks pretty good. Is the door molding removable? Id take it off if so, but thats just me.




A little suspension travel is pretty useful on a car that actually performs...


It will come off, but I'm indifferent to it. I don't know if I'd like it more with or without it so it stays on.

looks perfect. 

RIP that front bumper tho :(


The rockers are my main concern, but they aren't exactly mint already so it doesn't really matter that much.

Less suspension travel would make it perform better though.

Imo you should stop wasting money on lowering springs and just get coils with adjustable dampening. Np.

The car is on leaf springs, I'm adjusting the bolt on the spring. Well at this point I've just removed the front bolt all together lol. I'd never buy just springs regardless of what I had.
