I will post better pics from my girlfriend's camera when I get my RK Sport cold air intake, rotors, paint the drums and calipers again and....

i dont know about the noise. when does it make noise?when you hit the brakes or when you hit a bump or when you turn the wheel?
your car looks nice to by the way next step is control arm bushings and a rear sway bar

nop, it is lowered, look at the wheelgap,

You guys see it stock because is the base coupe model, and it doesnt have the side skirts or the z24 bumper. and since he has 45 tires, you can see a little wheelgap...

casey, the cavy looks nice, keep it up....


I need a new sig =(

Why does my Sunfire GT look lower than his Cav does stock? i mean arent the suspension's the same? FE2 is what i have i believe, that make a difference?


Re: lowered at last!...some quick pics

side skirts make the difference

the FE1 FE2 etc mostly relates the the front stabilizer and upgraded bushing from the base models. nothing that can't be bolted on really. there is a bar welded into the rear trailing arm, it stabilizes the arm, but does not act as a sway bar.

That height looks perfect to me. How is the ride? Did you use the factory struts?
Re: lowered at last!...some quick pics

I meant more on the fender clearance, mine stock is about half way between his stock and his lowered setup, are Sunfire's rear Fender's lower than a Cav (to give more of that filled in fender look)?

not having a SF or access to one I would measure from the top inside of the fender. i can do the same and we can compare notes cool?

Stock Sunfire GT wheels with BFG Traction T/A 205/55 R16 front was about 2.5, rear was about 3.25, didnt realize the rear was that much higher, doesnt really look it.


Re: lowered at last!...some quick pics

it is

what I was really looking for is the distance from where the strut bolts up, to the top of the curve of the wheel well. that way you know if the fender itself is lower on a SF than a Cavi. I'll do both measurement in the morning when I can see better.
