That is awesome! I had to drive my 8 up onto 2x4's just to get my garage jack under the car with no drop. I can only imagine getting a jack under yours.

Getting new wheels can greatly improve performance

Yes, but I'd rather use that same money for more hp...then just making the car ~20 lbs lighter.

I'm getting compression tested in 3 weeks...i'll make a plan based on the news I'm read.

It's not just the weight, it is also the improved traction and handling which will give you more acceleration.

Adding horse power makes the car faster in a straight line...

Loosing weight makes the car faster in a straight line, and around corners.

This is all very very true. But by the end of this year I'll be close to 100,000mi. I'm fearing compression loss. So I'm saving for a rebuild now, so I can enjoy another 100,000mi!

it looks good man. but now your wheels are too tucked, you need 15mm spacers at least. 20mm would be ideal.

To be honest, I never even thought of wheel spacers. I'll look into some. It would make my stocker's look more flush with the wheel wells.

New wheels and side markers, definitely needs a drop IMO. We'll see what next month's funding looks like, and maybe I'll get the suspension I've been looking at.
