Yeah it took me about a year also, but i got everything needed and installed, i also did the front 13' conversion as well. heres some pics.

Heres the front.


And heres a shot of the rear driver side.

Rear Passenger Side.


Front the backside of the wheel, you can see the braket that was part of the GP.


And if you wondering why the rotors look weird, its becasue when they were sitting on the shefl in there boxes, a bottle of self ecthing metal cleaner spilled and the boxes soaked it up and scored the rotores alittle, but only on the back side, and they dont seem to be affeced when breaking, although i will be replacing them with some eradispeed rotors when funds permit.

And two more shots so you can see the overall stnace and look of the car with the wheels and drop.


And if your thinking it loks lower on the driver side, your right, and its not my driveway, there is almsot a 1/2 difference between the right and left side of the car, and it was exactly the same way when sitting on stock springs and struts. GM says its normal and that it wont hurt anything.

Now i wish i had gone with coilovers so that i could make both sides sit at the same height. But other than that im happy as a pig in a mud hole with how the brakes and drop turned out, it has a good stance and a good look to it.

i think you said that overall it cost you more than to buy the baers directly right?

btw, that stance with those HUGE! brakes looks mean as all hell. and also, the 1/2" front passenger higher is a factory thing and i've seen it on plenty of cavys, including mine.
