Looks good with the new stance. Hope you have better roads than we have here though.

Any reason you refer to your car as a pile?

Meh. The roads here are marginal at best. And I just refer to my car as a pile for no reason. All the vehicles I have owned have been very clean.

Lowered is always better for handling.

It is really really easy. Look up the instructions on custom corvette accessories.

I did mine a little different to get it even lower. I removed the front bolts completely and just threw a bit of rubber between the leaf spring and A arm to get it lower and in the rear I only used one of the nuts with 3 threads exposed.

I wouldn't 100% agree with that statement, there is such a thing as too low.

Looks great! I'd love to lower mine but it's my daily driver and I already scrape all the time so I'll just have to live with it as is. Great look though.

Mine is not a daily, but I've been driving it a lot. Need to fix my daily again so I can start doing more gofast mods.

I like how it sits now. It will be a challenge to get to my parents house now though, they live in the mountains and have a gravel driveway.

Looks good! I wish the roads were decent enough here. I do enough scraping as it is with the stock "monster truck" ride height.
