Looks nice, I thought the TEIN S-Tech's dropped it a bit more in the rear though. I must be confused with something else. Congrats!

Looks good, but I think you should take the rear down a bit more. I have also never liked the chevrolet decals on the side or that spoiler, but the stripes look pretty good I think. I have always liked your car though, even with it being a sedan.

looks nice and the sportlines are the ones that drop it more in the rear

Rear is definitly needing further drop. All in all, looks good.

Looks good Derek! Could've went a little lower imo. Now you need to tint your windows(I need to do mine as well lol). Did you fix your intake? When we talked at the bbq, you said it was on your to do list.

I believe some drop springs like Tein account for people that have systems. Atleast in my opinion. A 35+ pound system in the trunk would even it out more. I only say that because one of my friends has HRs in his bimmer and the front and rears are the same drop and the rear sits even lower because of his system.

Why do you guys always say that it needs to be dropped more? I guess I'm the only one who likes the S-Tech drop. And another thing, at least he did it right the first time. Stripey, that drop is lookin' good. I bet once you get the ride dialed in on the D-Specs, it'll ride like its on rails, if it doesn't already.

Thanks for the comments, I will have to see if the stance it has now grows on me, I know that the rear looks a bit higher, but I dont have a system in the trunk..guess I just need a load of bricks instead..

Tinting the windows is also on my to do list....after that...well..will see.

Thanks again all...

I think it looks great ! Personaly I like the raked look waaaaaaay better then leveled out, but I guess thats cause I'm old school and think the cars look better jacked up a bit .

The stripes and spoiler mean that your car is a 2004 spring special edition that is in fact a limited edition car and not just dealer rice ! Its actualy a special factory optioned package and I think yours is the only 4 door one I've ever seen with it !


Congrates on a very cool car man !





Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

I have found that with D-Specs the drop in the rear is neveras low as what you get with a Koni Red/Yellow or the AGX's. Was demonstarted last year at the bash When Karo and I both had D-Specs and Sportline, but koni yellows and Sportline were lower in the back. Haven't figured out why, it just is what it is as the strut is correct in all dimensions (trust me I spent LOTS of time on the phone with Gravana Tokico and Tein as the H-tech made it a really bad drop, and I have pics...)

Overall a good look for the car, and i like it, I just liked mine a little lower is all. Now it is time to dial it in, but sway bars are a necessity, trust me....
