    Just lowered my 3g! (56k lawl)

    I still love it, haven't gotten the smile off my face since yesterday when I finished.

    Sittin' on KYB GR-2's and sprint springs.







    And for all the haters..


    Feel free to leave comments/suggestions!

    That looks good. How much did the setup cost and how bad is the camber?

    The dampers were a little under 80$ a piece, and the springs I got a deal on from Sprint for about 75$ +shipping. The camber is perfect, the rear wheels sit perpendicular to the ground and the front has a tiny little bit of camber(which I prefer personally)

    *edit: gonna order a set of Justin's front and rear bars within the next week or two to complete the drop.

    Its a slight bit tighter than stock. Its very comfortable yet still aggressive.

    Nope, 100% original. No wrecks, no scratches, no dings. Bought it from the original owner that had it shipped the good ol' Austin TX in 1987. I definitely lucked out. 275k, and still going very very strong.

    Did you get an alignment yet? If its more than 2.5 inches in a drop, your camber will be way off.
