Hey Guys,
I had jumped in a discussion last week discussing the OPG springs and I had a fear of it maybe not dropping "Low Enough" as my car was already lowered. Last Thursday, OPG finally got my rear springs in and I got everything(except the front springs) installed on Saturday.
I snapped a couple of pics:
Here's the side profile:

Also, here's a closeup of the wheel showing how much of the wheel is tucked up in the wheel well:

I will be getting another side profile picture soon to compare to the old one(in the signiture) once the front springs are installed too. But I wanted to post the initial results. I took out the torched(heated) rear springs and replaced them with the drop coils from opg with new spring insulators and replaced my upper trailing arms with Hotchkiss adjustable pieces that I bought 3 years ago and never installed till now. redface.gif

The result is crazy good so far. Ive only driven this car with the stock springs, and lowered with the stock springs after the "science experiment" as I like to call it. The difference with the rear rebuilt is night and day! I have a 1" rear bar, I just can't imagine how this thing will be with the new front springs too and getting a T/A bar back under there! And it looks like the OPG springs are the ticket for the lowered look like I already had achieved, I'm pretty sure the car only raised like maybe 1/2" to 1" Looks good to me!

Just wanted to share! graemlins/beers.gif

damn that looks awesome. u have a really nice velle man.

is the 3" drop an actual 3"drop? i was thinking about a 2" drop on the 71, but since i read the one thread about springs, i may have to rethink that, and maybe go 3".

cant wait to see finished pics.
