@ OhHerrooo, not going to slam it, although I love the look, i spent too much time making it look decent to drag it over speed bumps. It used to be slammed and it wreaked havoc. They do look sexy as all hell dropped though.

@supaninja, I would love to get a wide 5 kit for the front. When I got it the 4 lug discs were already there. I dont like the adaptors or the fact that I had to grind the calipers to make them fit Shocked

Brakes are one place I dont like to mess around with. Any recomendations on kits to use? My budget is drying up here real quick though, getting married in a month so it will get put on the back burner for a bit

For sure going to rock the hubcaps for a while. I dig the look. Not too big a fan of most aftermarket wheels, i dont like bling. The only thing I dont like about the adaptors is that I had to grind the calipers and that they push the wheels out a half inch.Shouldnt be an issue now that the car is raised up but when it was lowered that half inch was needed.

Ive gotten a bit done here on my car,definately not as much as I had hoped but progress is progress I guess. Finally got the new headliner unstalled and put all the windows back in. First time i could close the car up in quite a while.

Still not too sure what I'm going to do engine wise yet. I just want something that's reliable. I'm hoping soon to get an engine for her. Four kids makes it hard to save money.
