thanks for the comments all.

and 4x4, yeah man, as soon as i can find someone to work with, i will have more than enough cash to boost the crap outta that bad boy. i want a sleeper, which is why im not doing the lip kit, body kit, etc. stock looking is the key.

yes, they are progress and the ride is great! although its only been one day, they dont feel that bad or that far off from factory ride quality. seriously! im shocked, i was preparing for a ride that would knock my fillings out.

but yeah, i know a lot of guys say this, but watch this car. it only takes one deployment's worth of money to turn it into a magazine car.......although not for the rice reasons. my goal is to get it into the 11s or better. hopefully i can get it into some sort of limelight, so people know the max is a great car........then again, maybe its better kept a secret?

as for now, im just doing the nickel and dime mods to pass time.

That **** is hot. I like those rims a lot. The car is very simple yet it's nice as hell. Keep up the good work.

Nice, nice. The drop looks very good, I like it. Well I guess the drop will look even lower in 1K, like MAXDOUT said, but not by much.

good call man......its only been a little over a week and im starting to feel it. lol. think changing the struts out with only make it ride rougher? its not horrible, but noticeable to say the least.

Are you running on OEMs struts? If yes, then you defenately should get the aftermarket ones for the better ride.
