a little lower

I had a 4"/6" drop kit from CPP but really wanted the front a little lower. I could have purchased some different springs but decided to try cutting a coil first and save $100.00. It droped it about 1.5" and gave it a nice rake - just what I wanted,

I purchased the rims 5-6 years ago and the center caps were almost as much as the wheels. Through some contacts, I was able to get a screaming deal on a set of knock offs but were still a little over half of what the rims cost but, I think, made a big change. I now looks like I invisioned it when this whole project started, 8 years ago.

Before and after.............
