Default '02 SS lowered 2"

In November I posted that I had lowered my 02 SS and that I would get some pics of it. I have the pics, but they are too large to post here. I don't know how to make them a smaller file. If anyone would like to see them, e-mail me at rchurch@randallchurchllc.com and I will send them to you. Just a recap:

lowered 2" ront and rear
Eibach high performance springs
KYB gas struts
8.5" x 17" rims
255 - 45 Z rated Dunlop tires

I lost the disk they were on, but I'm getting new pics this weekend. I'll email them to you to post for me. I've had a couple of people wanting to see them. I'll include some pics of the new brakes too. Now that they are broke in, it's like tossing out an anchor when you slam them on. Next on the agenda is bigger sway bars and strut tower braces. That will be next month!

I can't wait to see them. I need to "brake" down and get mine done soon. I've noticed a little bit of vibration in the rotors and I think it's about time for an upgrade. I just need to find a way to get it past the BOSS..

They are Powerslot rotors, cad plated and crossdrilled, with Hawk carbon fiber pads. I also installed stainless steel braided brake lines. Total cost for parts, including shipping was $810.00. It took a few days to install, mainly because I painted the calipers and had to let them dry before re-installing them, and also I only worked on it in the evenings for an hour or two at a time.
The car is red and I painted the calipers red, using 1200 degree engine enamal. It looks great and the brakes are awesome.
