Moog Iroc Springs, ready to go mudding!

Greetings,
My latest modifications to my Sport Coupe include: Moog OEM iroc springs, spohn wonder bar, and hooker 2055's. got about 7 or 8 inches of ground clearance, and i love it!




Eat this lowering springs, haha. No, I'm not really going to go offroad, just looks like a monster truck now. So nice not worrying about ground clearance anymore...
I then sold my Intrax springs to 89_fireform.

All in all, I'm very happy with my car. the springs fixed my lca angles, so i shouldn't roast the meats clear through 80MPH the next time i head to the track.
got a posi coming and gears so that'll help alot too...

hello 80's. good thing i got some journey, scorpions, and ac/dc w/ me

lemme know what ya think...

theres a mud bog here in virginia on april 14th, i got a spare set of 38 inch boggers that you could use. you'd prolly make it through with that ground clearance.

ehh, we're just used to seeing camaros with 160 thousand mile old, sagging suspension...

the springs have settled about an inch since the pics were taken.

marroon88iroc: nothing wrong w/ the springs, just decided to head a different route, thats all.

SC's remind me of 1st gens.

i have also dropped about 75 lbs off from the front of the car too, so that contributes a little bit also.

if you compare the two pictures, the top one is newer, and has settled i'd guess two inches from the second picture.

not only that, but with the lca geometery fixed, it's gonna straightline performe better than it ever has! i am still gonna suggest getting a set of relocation brackets, it's definitely worth the peace of mind.

well i won my eaton posi, 3 series carrier tonight, and i'm looking at lca brackets and prolly spohns boxed lcas to go with it.

...don't get me wrong, i love dropped camaros and birds as much as the next guy, but a sport coupe? gotta go for the stock/sleeper look here in my book.

now if i had an Iroc or late Z, I'd throw a pro kit and some blisteins on her in a heartbeat.

its gotta be application specific.

...thanks for all the comments!

I think it's the 40-45 series tires that makes it look really odd.. I dunno..

All i have to say is.. "here I go again on my own...."

Sorry.. I get that all the time, just had to say it..
It will definitely have some sleeper value to it.

ladder bars, solid front axle, fenderwell headers.. a/gas sport coupe!

the rideheight isn't my thing when it comes to appearance, but I am in envy of your newfound ability to traverse the everyday speedbump!

well since the ability to post pics has gone to utter crap here and every hyperlink I put in is invalid, try a copy and paste

That is if the Kremlin will allow.
