next step is to get something fabbed up in the rear so i can drag

NICE!!! I wish i could ride that low. I ride low right now the cheap dirt and wrong way by heating my stock springs. But now im going turbo so im going to have to upgrade my suspension. I think iam gonna go with the sprint springs.

[meadus101]

Ride that low here and you'd lose your ride on the road.

[ancona46]

yea i dont ride that lol i ride close to oem heigt

[tonyboi261]

^^ lawl....nice ride never seen a grand am that low before !

[Satsuriku]

real nice! would kill to have bags but im sure the winters here would tear'em right up to hell and back

[AftermathAlero]

u need smaller tires and you'll be laying subframe. go get 215/35/18 next time when u need new tires.

looking good!

[Trickyslick]

pleas dont. if it doesnt lay frame or body, etc, it doesnt have any business dragging. drag bars just look stupid hanging down.

[ancona46]

your not going to see it

i never even thought of doing that im going to have to try that and see if it helps anymore...do u have anymore pics like that maybe with the wheel off?

do u still rub on there?

i only took off the small lip that had the sharp edge on it

i sit on top of the box channel, it don't make a difference though cuz the air strut is maxed out on going lower. Only thing you can do now is change to a smaller tire.

my buddy foosedgrandam.. he is laying subframe w/ his 215/35/18 tires. He had 225/40/18 and he was like 1/4" off the ground from laying subframe. hes also on easystreets.

I drug titaminum. before i was painted. I don't recommending doing it w/ paint. My fiberglass kit and all my undercarriage had burnt pit marks on everything cuz it gets so hot. I'm surprised my car didn't catch fire.

But now that i'm painted.. i'm retiring from dragging.

this is what my bumper looked like when i removed it for paint.

215 is pretty damn skinny i dont know if i want to go that small

i do need new tires in the spring tho thats what happens when u dont get an alignment after u bagg you ruin a nice set of toyo proxies

Makes me remember my old lowrider. It sat on the frame and was completely driveable this low..

lol i remember seeing pics of that car on cardomain or ssm a couple years ago...

[clutch1]

This thread has turned into one huge orgasm!! I drool over pics like this, haha.
I saw that triple bagged car on cardomain, too. Cool stuff.

[number53alero]

yes it was....it had the first set of airstruts out there from AIM. I saw an ad for air for any car and had to order. They had me send pics of my strut and then they fabbed it up..all for $560. The back is 100% custom every peice is custom made by me...a lot of cutting and welding. but you have do to a lot to be the first Cutlass ciera on air probably worldwide. I first got the bags around 5 yrs ago now was pretty crazy.

[ancona46]

not to be an ass but what does this have to do with grinding a pinch weld?

[number53alero]

nothing really but not to be an ass either but does talking how low and what tires you could get to get lower relate to a grinding a pinch weld?? Just haven't thought about my lowrider in a bit. It brought up that I didn't have to do that in my mind. but say what you want....you know the saying.:cry: for you

[FrankTheTank]

who cares? you've found out what u need to know, and the cutlass cierra is bad ass...
