Which one are you referring to? :D There are two that aren't lowered.

yeah im wondering too...which one.

--given that I want them all lowered. I will lower any of them, if someone gets me some decent suspension. Now, you can't just slap on some springs and shocks and be done with it like other cars... rollas are a different ball game.

dag...that's what's so challenging about having older cars... they're harder to work on. It's so rewarding to keep them up and good.

Yeah, dude...Once, I'm done getting everything in mechanically optimum shape...that lip is the next thing. I keep hearing how some kits and stuff just don't fit well. Just gonna keep it simple.

Update: I was driving into to work today...given Atlanta roads and the suspension on the red car, I hit a bump and I think the motor jumped timing. It runs as if it's putt-ing along. There is loss of power and the idle is more pronounced. Gotta check it out ASAP. Where's time when you need it? :rant:

More pics for the time being [pics are from my trip to xtreme auto repair]:

--went to Xtreme Auto Repair again, today. Many thanks to you guys for letting me take up space. It took forever to figure out my brake-bleeding issue, but it was like heaven when we figured it out. --had to replace the master cylinder. :crazy:

--only one photo for now 'cause I'm tired. Goodridge steel lines all the way around. :goodjob: Brake response is like night and day compared to the way they were before.
