The Cav drops a bit (56k...why do you still have 56k?)
Sunday, January 28, 2007 12:36 PM
Well after three years the cav finally got lowered a bit. I went with KYB AGX and the Eibach Prokit since I drive so much and the roads here are horrid. It ended up being a good choice to finally replace everything because my stock struts were done. Special thanks to Muffin and Bonedaddy for their help and to Alexis for sleeping through the whole process . Anyhow, on to the pics.

Getting cleaned at 2 in the morning.



And then the rest I took today.

















It's not a huge drop obviously, but it's enough that it gives the car a nice stance in my opinion. I love the way it looks now. Oh, and yes the front lip needs some work, we had to take it off to get it on the trailer (damn coil tower croaked on me while I was in Tampa and my dad had to come tow me home so I could take care of it). For the future the cav may or may not get the turbo sport hood and a definate face lift with new paint. Let me know what you think.

Thanks everybody. As for the grill, it will indeed be color matched to the car when it finally gets painted. It originally was, but I had to replace the bumper after an accident. The body shop guy was too lazy to paint the damn grill so that's why it's not blue now, but I assure you, it will be. And also, the emblems will all be shaved in the near future. Just haven't gotten around to it. And corpsemangler, as I said in my post near the bottom, the lip needs some adjustments. Once I get back up to Tampa Muffin is going to help me out with that I hope.

Yes, yes you will! Or you said you had the clips or something. Upper mount. Good god. That was one horrible process, haha.

those look kinda small for 17s. maybe its just me.

i that that may be because of the big rubber, cause people tell me my 18s look small and my tires are huge

Tire shine FTW. You need it. Other then that, do as aforementioned and I'd rock it.

Heh, the tire shine is sitting in the house. Just never got around to it.

As for the tire size, hindsight is always 20/20 and I wish I had gone with 18's, but it was a group buy and I couldn't pass up the price. They look good in person, even with the large amount of rubber. I just didn't want to go with a smaller tire and throw my speedometer off. The ones on there put it is as close as possible to the original tire size that car had with the 16" Z wheels.
