Thanks for the advice..again...posh. Lowering is looking like a no go anytime soon until I can find some rims, which also won't happen any time soon. I'm still working on it daily, though!

Makin' good progress!


You don't need the RIMS to do the drop... you'd LIKE the drop!

Did you upgrade the piping from the header to the muffler if so what pipe size you used?

No, but I'm considering that. I'll take it to the forum for that. What piping should I use, everyone?

As for the lowering. My dad shuns lowering unless I get bigger wheels + tires to make the drop equal out to around stock height. After my sister's accident, he's really tight about it.
