    I don't think it's that bad but it is pretty low. What springs did you use?

    Hard to say with the angle shots, but before seems to look better.

    I think the back looks fine, but the front is a little much. How is the ride with the cut springs?

    The rear is hardly noticable at all if any, but the front is kinda bad. I cut a coil and a half from the rear and the front. I think if i woulda done 3/4 out of the front the ride would be better and not so bouncy? peace

    Lets talk about these doors, please drop me a PM as to how you removed the handles and got the dors to work. I am looking to do this to my 93 project car.

    BTW, I have to give it to you man, Convert + Alberta + Top Down = Da Man!!! Being a Michigan boy at heart, I can feel ya.

    For Sheer Looks I give it an A+ :nice: but I am concerned about the drivability for a DD. for the rear it dont look much of a change on the angled pics but in the front its dramatic. how does it handle at 25, 55, 75? can you hit a mild pothole and live through it?

    A coil and a half off the stock springs? No wonder it sits so low, I put 5.0 front springs in my old '90 with a coil and a half cut off them and it lowered the front end..well, a little. Maybe an inch at most.
