Night Pics of Dropped Max (DIE 56k!!)

Installed the suspension I bought off of Mike (blackbirdvq - props for helping me install it) and decided to take some night pics since it wasn't raining. I'll take some more pics tomorrow during the day, my camera sucks at night.

I'm running Ground control coilovers (pretty much to the lowest setting at all 4 corners).

Looks sweet, how's the ride quality?

And just a suggestion for a future project: Lose the pinstriping.. It's not hard to remove.

sorry, let me clarify...
I'm running the ground control coilover conversion (which use eibach springs)....with the koni's in the front and the kyb agx in the back.

The set up is similar to the picture on the bottom of this page: http://www.ground-control-store.com/

ride quality is a little rougher than stock. I have the shocks set to halfway on the fronts and the backs. They're not as rough as the JIC's that Mike has on his max.

If you are gonna keep the stock wheels, add some spacers to the back wheels to make them stick out more. It will make the look of the car 10x better, stock wheels tuck in too far in the back. Glad you like the look and the ride. To clariffy things for people- I had Konis all around on this setup but adjustability of the rears requires removal of the whole shock, compressing it and turning the shaft, and then re-assembling it back up. AGX have a little tumb wheel on the bottom of the rear shock with 8 adjustments from 1-8, which makes fine tuning the suspension so much eassier.
