did you preload the springs??? It doesn't seem right, and where is your exhaust???

gmoney

I took these pics 3days ago after installing the springs, the car got a little lower since then with speed bumps. I took the exhaust off since the car will be getting painted.......

monchie

It still looks stock height to me. Anyway, a little more lower would make it look lowered, and what color are you about to change it to?

Ill take another pic tonight on how it sits now but as for paint i was thinking either the 2tone black and yellow or just respray the lightning yellow. it was painted b4 by the previous owner but ddnt do it right sum parts look lime green at an angle and other parts are dark yellow and my clear is chipping of my wing.

gmoney

Should the front be lowered a little bit more?

gmoney

Does the bump rubber that I'm supposed to cut have anything to do with the lowering?

Roidz

It's definitely lower than before, but yes, the front should be lower cause it looks like it's raised in the front compared the the back.

Car looks good.

I gave up trying to do spring work myself a number of years ago. Did it on some of my cars and trucks, also helped friends and eventually realized that dealing with springs can be quite annoying - and dangerous.

Now I just rather pay somebody to do swap springs for me. Will probably do that when I decide to lower my 8 - unless if decide to go with coilovers. Swaping those is always easier.

gmoney

Well i loosend up the control arms in the front while the 8 is getting its paint work done so lets see if that helps a little.......

gmoney

Is there any way I can get someone to do a photoshop of my 8 with a black with a gold pearl top with LY on the bottom if possible.......
