It finally got nice enough to get the car out and took some quick pictures. (car is dirty though)

hey looks bad ass whats your drop on your car front and back?

**Mr. Luos** · 03-19-2006, 01:31 PM

NICE!!

Had my WS.6 out yesterday for a while. Put about 100 miles on the new motor.
Of course...now it is supposed to snow today. Over a foot from what I understand.

The drop is the sportline Eibach kit. Which i believe is 1.7 to 2.3 inch drop all the way around. I love the look and the ride isnt that bad. Just hope in the future if i decide to get headers that these springs wont hold the car back.

LOOKS NICE! Did you also change shocks? I hear sometimes when u drop a car its a must to change to a stifffer shock or the car will ride bouncy??

Looks really good, I also am from michigan but im serving in the army at the moment. Ya it sux one day its nice there then the next you can barely get out the front door.

Having you shocks changed on these springs with stock t/a suspension would be needed for bounce but, Firehawk's with the suspension package have upgraded bilstein's and the car rides nice. Of course not as smooth as stock. But i wouldnt go back

WOW Mike! Can't believe its you. Hope you have been good and looks like you still have the hawk ehhh? Jim and I were talking about your car the other day. Post some pics of that badboy if you still have it and ill be sure to checkem out. Nice talking to you again talk to you soon.

I was hoping I was right...I THOUGHT that was your license plate! Everything is going really well with us. Jennifer and I had our first child the day after Christmas...so life's not as slow as it was for us. The Firehawk has just over 12,000 miles on it right now. I drive it occasionally, but not too often. I just had a set of new Wide Oval tires put on a couple weeks ago...finally got rid of the dry rotted originals. It hooks a LOT better! I need to get it back to the track again this summer.
Nice hearing from you again, too. Say hey to Jim!

I gotta post a couple more times before I can link to a pic...

Just as bad ass as i remember it Mike! Looks great. Low mileage also. Jims car just dropped a bearing at 20,000 miles lol. Let the kid drive it while oil pump decided to go out and his kid sprayed some kid in a race. So his car is again a garage queen and mine sits at 22,000 miles and once i learned how to drive a stick it went 12.67 at 110. Congrats on the child i'm glad its going well. Talk to ya soon.

beautiful car man

**LT4Hawk9** · 04-15-2006, 07:08 AM

Thanks, guys! I appreciate it. It's starting to suck, though. When the car was new, EVERYONE asked about it and stared. Now, I guess it's at the age where nobody cares much. The third gen cars, however, are getting to be a rare find in decent shape (which is sweet...I want a GTA!), at least in my area, and they are getting all the looks and questions. Shoot...I might garage the LT4 for a few years and then get it back out...keep the miles down, plus it might get noticed, then.
