I've said it before, and I'll say it again--this car is simply stunning the way it is set up with those stock wheels. These wheels are always overshadowed by the IROCs, so I think sometimes people forget just how good they look, even if they are just 7" wide.

I've never been a fan of prostreet cars, but yours is the exception because it isn't tubbed and retarded. Your car just looks good.

(but lol @ the mudflaps with the blower)

 

Not as low as you can go but she scraps lol

 

LOVE that paint color dude nice! go lower!!

 

Thats the car in GM High-Tech isn't it?

 

Tyler is that SMO?

 

this is with no motor, interior, or transmission

 

Yea it's the GMHTP car

It's Plymouth prowler orange

 

i love that car.. good story too

 

Thanks man......hahahaha those mudflaps were were at the time Hi-tech custom cut out of smoked plexiglass, ya know sorta like m-u-l-l-e-t-s seemed like a good idea for some.......I was damn proud of them


lots of very nice rides in this thread, makes it easy to see why I still love the third gen look

 

 

lol, I keep coming into this thread just to stare at your car, that is just the epitome of a perfect stance.

 

any new ones??? im going lower soon once i roll/cut my fenders

 

My 86 will be on the floor again tomorrow hopefully with the Intrax's. I will snap some pictures/videos if I have time.

 

dope those intrax are supposed to sit mad low too..interested to see the outcome for sure

 

Yep, I was running Moogs/AGX all around and this was the result.





I have only done the passenger front and the drop after a week looks good. I will have the car on 3/4 Intrax on monday hopefully for some pictures.

 

wheres the slammage??

 

Guess I didn't make it clear, those pictures are the befores with the Moogs. I will try to get some better pictures with 3/4 intrax tomorrow.

 

I guess you believe in the saying "if sparks don't fly, your rides too high" Should look sick. Tho I really like the way your car sits now.

 

why no windshield??

 

^ your kidding right? It's not finished....

 

weight reduction!!! hahahah but yea its not done

 

Specs previously posted.

 

What's the headlight conversion from?

 

that looks great! but it could be lower??

 

 

I love the rims. Whats the specs?

 

Front:

19x8 Auto Art 3 piece VY design front
1 3/4" lip
4" backspacing
fender height is 26 1/4"
275/35ZR19 Bridgestone Pontenza RE050

Rear:

19x10 Auto Art 3 piece VY design rear
3" lip
5.5" backspacing
fender height is 27"
295/35ZR19 Bridgestone Pontenza RE050

 

Indeed it can be, and will be. Unfortunately my ground control set up it bottomed out, so I'm going to need to get shorter springs. This car is also going to see competitive autocross this year so there's a whole lot of parts that I still need to save up for.

 

Beautiful pics! All of them!

 

ahh i see mine too..big plans for 2012..

i still need LCA's, LCARBS and the whole torque arm setup as well as new steering linkage to finish it off for now

whats your suspension setup btw? if you dont mind me asking of course

 

Ground control weight jacks with SSS 800lb front, 200 lb rear springs. KYB adjustable struts and shocks, bull dog double adjustable rod ended pan hard bar. 36/24 sway bars with poly endlinks. I'm trying to get it set up before march, and I still need: 900/250 springs (and shorter), LCARBS, Koni yellows, extended ball joints, solid strut mounts, subframe connectors, strut tower brace, relocate both sides of the panhard brace, offset a-arm bushings, jeep steering shaft, bump steer kit. And I'll just use that as a starting point.

 

yup

sooooo dope!

damn dude..sounds great

 

here is my 82... eibach sportlines with kyb shocks and struts

 

Mine before my build....might not be considered "slammed" per se, but it's one of the lowest in my area. Tokico 1 3/4" drop springs and Tokico blue shocks on 18" Ruff 278 wheels. I have a very good feeling it will sit even lower now from the added weight of the turbo parts/intercooler on the front end.

 

Yall got me snooping around on here and looking at old pics again

Cars and bikes= On the ground
Trucks= Up in the air
Perfect example of slammed vs. lowered


Slammed vs. not slammed

Slammed bike


That car started it all for me with the lowered stuff, now everything i own aside from the trucks just dont look right if they're not in the weeds

 

to the people posting pics of "slammed" cars. if you can see a gap between the tires and fenders, your cars not slammed. if you buy a lowering kit, your car is lowered. slammed cars are usually people who install air bags to get that slammed ride height. my car is lowered 2" all around and its not slammed, but after the adjustable suspension is done it should be. i car usually isnt drivable when slammed, and if it is it will be a nightmare to drive. this is only my opinion. please dont get offended.

 

project-rs, I'll second that

 

someone had to say it......lol

heres another way you can tell. if your driving your car and it feels like your butt is going to scrape the ground while driving. your car is most likely slammed....hahaha (personal experiance from previous camaro)

 

Slammed is a pretty generic term if you ask me. Obviously some of the cars that have a few inches between the tire and fender are not "slammed" but for a road driven car, I'd consider around an inch gap to be pretty damn low for a street driver! Plus, airbags and all that just are not very practical for the majority of people, and I for one think it's kind of a waste to go through all that trouble and custom work just for a "look" that will not do much for actual handling improvements. With that said, I always considered slammed to be pretty low, but still driveable for the most part...as in not tucking half your wheel into the fender.

 

agreed. im going with all umi chassis/ suspension parts and i have 2" springs. the car sits really low now and the springs havent settled yet. i might switch springs after because with my custom front bumper and side skirts that im making. the kit im making adds 3/4-1" from the factory parts. my car will be lowered for function, not for looks.

 

Back in the day they werent, my setup out handled the dozens of different combos of springs and what not i had ran on that car over the years before the bags. I wouldn't hesitate to spend that money again!

 

Where can I get a flag like that

 

some nice n' low rides here.

 

Ain't you guys worried about wheel rub and stuff?

 

i rolled my fenders for extra clearance

 

oh cool, I guess I like them up higher, I feel like it makes them look more beefy lol just my opinion.

 

i only rolled my fenders because of the rims i have now. im getting out of my 17's because there not what i want anymore and i dont want to use the 2" adapters needed to use them. i want to run 8" wide fronts and 11" wide rears. maybe a 15" rim.

 

My new look:

 

I tweaked a few things and managed to get my car lower. I'm now tucking tire front and rear ever so slightly.

Please excuse the dirtiness. I haven't washed her in almost 2 weeks.

 

DBLTKE what did you do? I need to lower mines more!!!!!
