Just a few new pics of my car. I took the pics the same place where I took the last pics.

This pic shows the new Platinum tint, Koni's, and Sprint's.

The valve cover looks real nice. What technique did you use to paint it blue like that? I think I might try it with a Black lettering red cover scheme. What did you polish it with?

Thanks

I didn't polish the valve cover myself. I got it from Tony(1MAX2NV).

Technique? Not much technique for painting the blue stuff. I just bought the high temp. paint from AutoZone and sprayed away, several coats though.

looking good bro!! keep it up

the only thing that would bother me is the fact that the rear sits higher than the front. Maybe if you had he rears cut one coil it would sit even. My H&R are the reverse. Front is higher than the rear.

Yeah, the higher front of the Sprint's is driving me crazy. However, I don't think I will be cutting it. Some people said the rear will settle given time. I took a look at some other members who have Sprint's and it doesn't look like they settled much. Oh well, it rides pretty good, so I can put up with it.

Like I posted on ny96maxse's post, in this case the opposite, you could try putting some weight in the trunk, maybe some speakers.

I had a 50lbs sub box in the trunk before, but that didn't help the springs to settle. I guess I have to deal with it, not too big of a deal.

Man, I don't know what say now, sorry buddy. All I know is that I have the Intrax springs and I know it would sag if I threw in my old sub box, but that's Intrax for ya.
