nice stuff, but be advised that the Sportlines are pretty damn low and hard.  Car will handle well, but it will bottom out on things and scrape on things and the ladies won't like the ride.  Right Travis/Kristi? 

[Ivan Josipovic]

haah try H&R race springs 2"/1.75" with a 3" exhaust can you say scrappeeeeee

[Drew Sale]

haha trust me, aslong as it isn't as low as is it now then i can't go wrong. it appears that a previous owner compressed the stock springs and took a torch to them. it's so low that the negative camber on the rear wheels cannot be corrected or the wheel will rub on the wheel well. i'm heading outside to take pics of something else but i'll take some pics to try and show you how ridiculously low it is right now.

but thanks for the comments 

[Drew Sale]

as long as it's nothing like that i'll be happy 

[John Hartman]

that is pretty low for sure.

Even if this setup is as low as that one, it will be better.  I didn't know you had heated/cut springs, nothing worse than that short of broken ones.

PS nice wheels.

[Drew Sale]

ya they might aswell be broken. the struts are 2 different brands (afaik) and one of them is blown for sure. sooo now all i have to figure out is if i'm keeping the beast, getting that welding done and having everything else fixed.

p.s. thx for the compliment on the wheels. although the front right tire has a bulge in it 

[Mike Schmid]

Sounds like you've got a real basket case.  Good luck sorting everything out on there.
