I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their car with the Dinan suspension on it. I was curious to see how much lower it makes the car. Does anyone know how far the car drops with the Dinan springs?

Well here's a pic of one with Dinan Stage III. Gives you an idea. Mind you I think the Camber plates give the illusion that it is lower..

The car is 0.5" lower in the front and back Rocket. The cambers make the front wheels negative not give a lower illusion!!

I think you should post the pic on the side so that it can be seen that it IS lower

BlackM5,

Hey what's up bro?? Having fun back at home?

What I meant to say on the alst thread is that the car is lower considerably, but I think in that picture, the car will seem even lower because the camber plate tip in the tops of the tires/wheels. Therefore the shadowing makes it look like the tires are burried in the wheel wells. But you would know best.

When are you coming back specifically?
