Finally lowered my wife’s car

[BlakeusMaximus]

I know her car isn’t a fox but I think you guys can appreciate it, plus I don’t know any of the other dudes on the S197 part of this site. I wish doing springs on a fox was as easy as these cars. Pulling the front struts, swapping the springs

and dropping the rear end all the way down far enough to pull the springs out and I was done. I did have to run to Napa and pick up some upper front strut mounts because one of em came apart when I took it out. Probably took me about three hours including the trip to Napa, I drove my fox over there of coarse. Car looks awesome. I installed Eibach sport lines for her V6. 1.5 inches the front and 2 inches in the back is what is advertised but it looks like it dropped it more than that. The close up picture of the right rear was a before picture. Big difference.

Sorry, my pictures are all jumbled up in my text.

Man... what a difference.. looks great
How’s the ride quality?
I dig the blacked out tail light panel, really good looking convertible buddy

Thanks Ragged! Rides awesome, especially with the new front strut mounts one was broken and I’m sure the other one was on its way out. It does need rear shocks, ordered those this after noon after I was done. Should have done it all at once, oh well those are easy as to replace.

My son has an '09 and wants it lowered as well. I'll show him the pictures of your wife's car. Thanks Blake, it looks great.

Thanks Dave. Pretty easy swap.

Thanks darkfader. I like it. I’m sorry I waited so long to get em. Our son bought the springs as a birthday present. Her birthday is 7/5. She loves it.

The drop really changed the look. I was going to say those rims don't look right when I saw the first pic then the lowered pic, they look good.

Thanks man, I’m with you. I can’t get her to change those wheels. The drop made them look better on the car imo
