I've heard it looks fugly under the cover thanks to the DI. Agree that the cover looks bad though, I wont be surprised to see an aftermarket cover made by someone eventually

Is the perch only necessary if you break the stock one? I just got my spring in the mail a couple days ago, and now I see this

Yup that's what I was trying to say

One of the best laws in Arizona is the "castle law". Basically if someone comes into your home uninvited and you feel threatened for yourself or family you can murder the shit out of them, but even if you dont they cant really sue you like some of these other stupid ass states allow. Break into...

550 to the wheels N/A isnt easy, most are stoked if they ever break the 500 barrier. I would add ported heads, CJ, and throttle body to your list to get over 500.

There's definitely some differences with the exhaust fitment, even though the headers should bolt right up to the engine

Old school hot rodders didnt have many options, there wasnt a huge aftermarket for modifying cars. It's ricer because it isnt an engineered solution, you are literally just winging it at the expense of your ride quality and longevity of your shocks/struts in order to achieve a certain look. Then...

That was awesome. I was starting to wonder if I was the only person around here who thought that was a trashy ricer thing to do.

1 What does being a mechanic have to do with anything? It's not even worth trying to argue

Lol, how could it possibly be done right? You're shortening the travel without increasing the spring rate. That is 100% a ricer thing to do vs just paying $200 for some lowering springs

#1 dont cut springs, that's some ricer BS. A 1" F, 1.5" R drop will not cause issues with clearance, but it will be a firmer ride than factory. These cars have a huge gap from the factory, that amount of lowering just puts it where it probably should have been. You will probably want the Ford...

Yup, I went over that in post #54, but he wanted to know my wheel specs

Sorry, fronts are 19x10 +40, rears 19x11 +50. Front brakes are 4 piston Brembos

Here's a good place to start learning about the 3v platform, and boosting it http://departmentofboost.com/tech/boosting_3v.htm Some cheap mods you can do is upgrade rear suspension components (lower and upper control arms), better shocks/struts (Strange adjustables are a great budget option)...

Yeah I dont think this is accurate at all unless your wheels have a completely jacked offset. For example I have a 1.5" front, 2" rear drop with 285/35r19 front, and 305/35r19 rear tires. Zero issues/rubbing/etc. Your rear tires are a little tall though
