Car looks nice, almost thought that red reflection in the last pic was some new type of rear fog light. What wheels are those?

Never cut springs btw.

Thanks. lol, yeah that what happens when you take pics at sunset, and JNC 001 white face with chrome lip. but do you think maybe one coil loop front the two fronts would be bad..i mean the shocks are aftermarket. not koni yellow quality, but still better than stock. I actually emailed raceland asking about support for aftermarket springs, I'll have to see what they say. But i found a DIY on here for replacing springs which could give me the extra inches, 1 1/2, that i need to tuck the top tires. Just worried the spring rate will be too high for the shocks.. If I cut the included spring about one coil from the bottom, then think the spring rate shouldn't change dramatically.

and the lock rings can be removed, just gotta pull off the lower.

But dang that's low! My TruHart was lower than I wanted :p I guess that's an option.

Yeah the gap was larger on the front, so we removed the lower lock rings. But the back still tucks more than the front. Maybe they will settle some more, but not sure. I know if i remove the rear lower locks I'll tuck almost half of the top of the tire which is what I want ill just add more camber. But there's no way to shorten the fronts not that I can think of :/ that's why I said cutting one coil loop could be an option or replacing the springs all around with some that are rated for a 4inch drop..

or see a spring company, circle-track distributors help (Eibach maybe). They sell springs of a rated strength at the desired length. Buy new springs. (2.5" diameter, standard coilovers) If you go lower, you need stronger.

Yeah, I had the CCW reps way back when I first tried to stance my car, but something came up and I needed to sell them. So now that I am in a better position I started over. Decided to go with the white face tho.
