    Nice Buick. Hope you got something better in its place.
     
  2. The Lancers look good, Paul. You should be proud.
     
  3. I like it Paul! Looks really nice with the new caps. The WWW's make a HUGE difference.

    Thanks guys. I am liking it as well. I plan on driving it to GNRS Sat. I have the Lancers on one side and the stock caps on the other for a comnpare and contrast.

    Hell yes. Beautiful car, but I'm biased. Great stance too. Good job. Do the teeth on the caps scrape off the powder coat?

    I think I remember you saying you had issues with the steering box. Do you figure it out?

    Yes the caps scrape off the powder coating. It is not as bad as if it were paint but it still does. I have not completely fixed the steering. It still has a lot of play in the box. I do have another box to try. Just have not gotten around to installing it. If that box is not good, I can use it as a template for a custom box. I found a guy in Bladwin Park who was willing to try to find a box that is similar and custom make a mount so it will bolt right in. That way I get a brand new modern steering box with a better ratio and feel.

    Love it! The color combo! The wide whites!! I have diamondbacks on my 60!! It looks killer lowered 3".. I am definitely going with the 3 inch lower spirings! How does it ride?

    It rides a little stiff in comparison to the stock springs, but not harsh at all. I am very happy with the springs. I bought them from Jamco. The rear end bottoms out pretty easy but that is because it sits about an inch off the bump stops
