AFTER

Front treatment:

• lowered 2.5" from stock height
  • custom, in-house SoLow lower A-arms
  • shortened stock coil springs
  • new KYB shocks

Rear treatment:

• lowered 3.5" from stock height
  • DJM hangers (EH3097-2)
  • DJM shackles (SH3097-2)
  • new KYB shocks

Update:

26 April 2003: I have chosen to invest in some DJM lower A-arms (CA3097L-4), as the current custom ones do not have a proper steering stop. This means my rims are contacting the A-arms on the inside of the wheel and causing damage. Since I also plan to upgrade to 20" Lightning replica wheels, I don't want to get those damaged. More photos once I undertake this project.
