Copy and paste to see.

But yeah that is low. Nice and low

 

it looks too low in the rear. Almost uneven. Looks good though

 

what kind of rims are those Kincaid?? RHs'?? protege looked good til you added the wood pole

 

nevrmind.....C5 replicas.....all three pics didnt download the first time. it looked good

 

the back is to low , you can tell by the door molding , otherwise, it looks nice, now for some rims , 18's??? would be sweet

Rims will be next. Just trying to find some +50 offset 19's. What you mean the door molding...? The front of the side skirt, and the rear of the side skirt are exactly the same distance from the ground. The fenders are just a lot shorter in the front. I just wanted it slammed. Later on....

 

now my question is, whatd you do to lower it? cut springs, coil overs, or what?

 

Yeah their replicas. But you can't get the RH's anymore. I couldn't find them even away. So I settled for these. And the pole was unintentional. heh. It was added after the sliding from the car hitting my drivers side.

 

I used Skunk2 coilovers. They were easier to install than I thought. Just waiting on some good lowered struts. I am going to NOPI this weekend, so hoping to see some cool P5s'. Later on all.......Kincaid, the ride was so sweet, cant wait to see the 6.

 

I set up a yahoo account, similar pics but trying to do this.

Dude the rear is way to low. You must understeer like a bitch driving that thing. One common rule in a FF car is that the front should at least be level, but actually should be lower to help aid in understeer.

 

I tell people the car is perfectly level. The front side skirt and rear side skirt are the same distance from the ground. I dont experience understeer, and I took my first roadtrip this weekend. Put 500 miles on it, and it drove great. I did scrape quite a few times, but I try to scrape daily. There are two other P5s' in the town I live, and both are slammed the same way. Skunk2 makes a good product, and make this car a little funner to drive. Best of all though, the freakin thing is slammed

 

i just checked the skunk 2 site and they want $514. How much did you pay?

 

I paid $326 which included shipping from the NOPI store in Smyrna,Ga. I talked to a guy named Danny, and he cut me a little deal. nopi.com has them for 350+shipping, so I saved just a little bit. I had to eventually call skunk2 and get the two spanners, nopi forgot them, but i now have two pair( one from skunk2, and the ones from nopi they forgot). They came with directions, but only had pics of the coilovers put together, nothing about taking the old ones apart. I used MacDaddy's website(thnks MacDaddy) for the ground control coilover install, and went from there. Unbelievably easy to install. Hope this helps.
