Looks great my friend. Just needs to be lower and it will sit alot better. Just grab any lowering spring and that should work well for you. Will yield a 1-1.8" drop. Lowering springs are usually about 200 bucks.. You can use stock struts for abit or get some Tokico HP's, KYB GR2's or Escort ZX2's. lots of info on the site so search around.

those were taken with my nikon D80 with a 50mm prime at 1.8
photography is a huge hobby of mine along with cars. ive done a couple weddings and such.
heres a set on my flickr of a car meet from last year. these were taken with my Sony A200 which was my first DSLR which i sold to a friend after getting my D80. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lukecervi/ ... 346799407/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
if anyone in my area wants some pictures done just let me know and we can set a meet up. :)
