'98 GT vert Lowered pics (before & after)

GaryDawg · 12-14-2002, 04:41 PM

I finally dropped my '98 GT vert over Thanksgiving weekend.

I put in H&R Supersports, Bilstein Struts & Shocks, Urethane spring isolators, Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber plates, and a new pinion snubber.

The final drop was 1-3/4" in the front and 1" in the back. It took two weeks of settling to get here and I think it is still settling a bit. I feel the urethane isolators have something to do with the slow settling.

Sorry about the pictures not being the best. I bought a new digital camera with a considerable learning curve (Minolta DiMage 7i). I'm still learning how to take pictures with it. I had to increase the brightness of the pictures through Photoshop so that you could make out the tires in the dark wheelwells, that's why the aluminum wheels are "washed out".

Before and After Pic...

Close up pic...

Notice the new spring has at least four dead coils...

Close up wheelwell pic...

A picture of a stock rear spring with rubber isolator next to new rear spring with urethane isolator.

Springs and Pinion snubber pic...

Old pinion snubber removed and new snubber attached to mount...
