still need lil bit work on body painting the chrome trims,... and tintin' the back windows,...

and also still need to drop the car some more,... .25" or .5" drop on the front and 1" drop on the back,...

what do u do if the coilcovers wont give you the drop that u want?
a) change to lowering springs and cut 'em??
b) change to lowering springs and heat 'em??

i think it looks beter with top clear coat..

also dont if the coil over wont fit..
option C. get another coil over.. donot cut your spring(very bad ride)
and lastly i think it would look beter if youl drop more on the front than the back side.. slightly tilted ba..

hope this helps

yeah,... im gonna try to put on the clear coat this week,...

the 86' Lude is on coilovers right now,... (the coilovers im using is from my 00' Lude)
fender n tire : the FRONT can fit my pinky if its slanted,.... the BACK can fit 2 of my fingers together if its slanted
my plan is to drop my car until the tires are tucked in,..... (when my pinky wont be able to go through the fenders and tires,.... i'll be satisfied)
tilted more to the front was the 1st thing i had in mind,.... right now, the front has alil' bit more drop thn the back,....
but if i had all the tires tucked in the fenders,..... its gonna look hella sicker,...

the coilovers is all the way down right now,.... cutting or heating springs is a realy bad a idea,.... as u said,.... give u a bad ride,... (bouncy)
i for sure wont cut or heat the coilover springs,..... there short as hell already

i thought about putting some lowering springs,.... but all of 'em wont give me the drop i want,....
so thats why i thought about cutting or heating the lowering springs,.... (i know its a bad idea)
but i think the KYB shocks can help or give me a better ride coz of the hard suspension that KYB provides,....

nice show some pics of the final result of your rims.. the color should be a bit lighter after you put a top coat..
