Any1 w/stillen kit only--no suspension, no rims

I want to put on just a stillen kit on my car. No springs and no rims. Anyone with pix, please post them so I can check it out. Opinions would help too. Can't lower it with a kit because the roads in Boston sux!!

Regarding the 97 and up stillen kit are the rears interchangeable?, meaning can i put the 97 rear kit on a 96 w/out changing anything. I like how the 97 and up wraps around.

NO...rear bumper is different. They won't bolt up right.

That's correct: the rear bumper on the '97-'99 sticks out further than the '95-'96. The rear kits are not interchangeable on these years.

I am now lowered on GC + AGX. It scares me to look at my car before lowering, that's a whole lot of wheel gap. I just put my car back up an inch or so for the winter and it still looks better than those pics. I would say you can drop 1" with the kit and have no problems on bad roads

It's not that bad in Boston. Plenty of modded cars with full body kits on. Just don't go over 1.5" in the drop that's all.

I was gonna say whenever I am in boston I always noticed dropped cars. You just have to watch how low and how fast in some areas. But thats like most places probably. When I finally lower my car I was still be going in and out of bsoton all the time. Tommorow though I still get to take it in stock height.

You are right that Boston has all kind of lowered cars even some low riders. Just stick to the main roads plus no steep driveways and it's all good.

I sold my kit long time ago. I personally know many people with body kits in MA without any problems. Somebody might have some new goodies this spring! Hint hint '02

In the third pic, is that Black Reflective tint aka "Blak Mirror" or "Platinum" tint? Looks good.
