I've been working here and there on the convertible since it returning from teh paint booth as a shell in April.I dropped it of to have the frame aligned and top installed and wanted to snap a pic for all to see. I still have the interior to do as well as fine tune the stance (way to tall in the rear) finish the exterior trim work, do some fine alignment on the front sheetmetal,tune the motor and a dozen other things. Any suggestions or comments I welcome good or bad. For those who want to know the top install price was $800.00 that included aligning the frame,installing a better grade of foam rubber to the pads as well as tapering the pads at the front for a better fit. I supplied all the parts and was able to sit in and watch them do it after hrs.

Very nice. I've always liked that color. I installed new rear springs on my coupe and it was a little to high for me also. When I bought them, they where defined at factory height specs. I though about taking a leaf out but they have relaxed about 3/4in since install. but that was 1.5yr and 1000mi ago.
Please tell me those are reflections on the driver's side and not chips in the paint...
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

I supposed to be 1.5 drop from Eaton but it sure is lower than that as I get a slight rub on the right front wheel. I'm running 15x7 with a 1/8 spacer to clear the stock 4 piston caliers. BFG are 215/60-15
