Finally got the springs and struts on the car. I snapped a couple quick pics although shes dirty as hell and struts havent settled yet. Any way here are a couple shots. The car rides much stiffer now but handles much better as well.

Well when I got it I painted it with autozone plastic paint. The ridiculous TX summer though baked all the paint off of it in a month or two and now its bare plastic with a red pin stripe in it.

Looks good man. Hmmmm, plastidip the spoiler? That might be an idea for the inferno sitting in the garage until I can afford to get the car painted...

Pics of the spoiler with plastidip?

Trololololo, even though that's only like -1.5* and it still wears the rear tires like crazy, but not much I can do about it with a rear torsion beam setup :evil:

Has the suspension settled for you at all yet Trey?

I think a little I mean i posted some good clean pics the other day in another thread Ill post a desent one real quick here to. Car has turned out alright. Although I really think it leveled the car more the anything. Mainly like i said handling and ride is much stiffer and better.
