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.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

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

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
