My exterior!!!, Combat Front! Update 3/13/09 Lowered! Options

Looks good man. If u havent done so already be sure to take ur high beam seals off of ur OEM front and put them on the Combat front. That will eliminate alot of the gap plus it wont look like something is missing.

Brady you can go lower HAhah nice job man its coming along really really nice.

People will never go lower on this site, only a few of us do it. I am running a 3" drop and I still want to go lower. Don't go lower just for looks, use it for functionality and practicality. I went for looks only cus I don't care about camber and treadwear.

Jon: I would love to go lower but this IS my dd so I do need somewhat of a practical ride height, and this looks sexy imo and the ride isn't bad at all!!!! Lower would be fun tho I'll admit! but also w my kit idk how much lower I can go before I wouldn't even be able to get out of my garage ha!

Frank: I'm envious of your car anyway and since you hardly have to drive anywhere it works for you!!! I drive close to 100 miles a day. At least w my new job.. Thanks again for the trade!!!

Joe: I'll get on the seals tonight, I just haven't had time in the last couple days to even mess with any of it.

I'm hoping I can get to work some more on my other fender tomorrow since I have the day off. And hopefully get to work on the low beams to get them more conformed! And I get to pull of the rear struts again cuz I forgot to grease em and so they're rattling... STUPID!!! I realized what I was supposed to grease after the fact... Oh well! Learning more stuff ha

I'm glad you enjoy them, they aren't that bad huh, made me regret getting the TRDs because the INTRAX feels just the same with the lower height.

Yeah, they're amazing!!! I'm so glad I went w these springs. Idk how eibachs are compaired to these which is what my original plan was or maybe tanabe, but I'm happy w these! and I'll promote them too!!! great ride height and very comfortable!!! honestly I don't feel too much of a difference from the stock springs. btw i'll get the insurance # for you.. My gf is headed to my house soon i think, I forgot to get it this morning..

Sure man NP, I'll get it done tonight. The sides actually just overlap the fenders, some have bondo'd and others have left it. I'm goint to leave it as is for the simple point that in case anything were ever to happen it will make it much easier to get em apart, get everything seperate easier to work on. yes bondo or fiberglassing it together would look much more clean i suppose but not work it imo. Once its painted it will look clean

oh man thanks!
thats what i was thinking!
cuz i wanted to bondo my front lip to my bumper but since i lowered it, the front
is probably the height of a cellphone from the ground!!
and i almost hits everywhere,, now i can just put it on whenever i want,
