One note. Since it is that low in the front you should lower it 8 mm more in the rear. Then it will drive better. SBīs donīt like nose down stance.

I've actually been waiting for the new strut springs to settle into their final ride height before I make any more adjustments. I lowered the rear +5 -5 when I replaced all the torsion and swing arm bushings. That was at the beginning of the Summer. Most likely in the Spring, I'll level the car out now that I've got some miles on it.

Oh thanks, but don't look at the pictures too long. Not knowing what I was getting myself into is the only way I got through it. Seriously, I must have 10 miles of welding wire in that thing! It almost saved my marriage, almost.

The death foam repair and crescent vent fill...

I just acquired a set of death foam section repair panels. Im looking at what I received and looking at my car and trying to figure out how to go about understanding where to cut. How did you approach this?

Great build and some true ambition, but why did you do all that work and not correct the air vent on the shroud which was modified for Air Conditioning at one time.
