Lowering and few beauty shots

With the help from the forum I lowered my car and finally did alignment yesterday.
The first measurement show how much everything was off but I didn’t need a machine to tell me this, I could feel it.

The car ride is stiff and I would li do another alignment after I install bump steer kit , new spring plate bushings and raise the back 1cm, which I think it will be perfect.

I did quick polish and was surprised on the shine. I think engine bay and exterior is fine and time to takle that interior.

I will remove the carpet, install sound deadening and use only mars, no carpet.

Cheers

Nice middie.
We really need a side shot to appreciate the stance though!
The shine looks good!

Heres a dumb question, can we take our cars to any alignment shop or does it need to be done at a specialty type place?

Oh and what size wheels are you running?

This was no specialty place, he did struggle at the beginning until he understood the process and it was easy from their own.
He did say alignment is different and probably a newbie shop will not be able to do it at least not properly.

I wanted to lower mine a bit too but was afraid of getting alignment since I am in a small town in Texass. I might wait until I move back down to Florida for that.

Once you lower, especially the back everything goes out of whack so wait yes.
