Looks good. I like the color of the z wheels. Whats your plans on the rear bumper? Next time you get your wheels balanced get them to put the weights on the inside. They stand out like a sore thumb, not to mention they ruin the finish on the ouside of the rims

nice im thinking of trading my megan springs for some of those cuz i think theyre a bit lower, wered u order them from?
bout god damn time lol. now just some paint and your set
The wheels were done with the duplicolor wheel paint in gunmetal, turned out realy nice originally but have like caked on brake dust and yes the wheel weight issue. I have a buddy with a sandblaster which they will be be getting done then repainted. I realy like them gunmetal as opposed to the usual black 95-99 z wheels you see.
The springs I got with the struts from a member here. I realy like the stance of them, gona pick up some solid strut mounts next.
back up, then take the pic, maybe get the whole car in the shot, lol. j/k nice selection though!

Yea I know haha, not much room in my small driveway area/ yard lol. And I mainly just wanted to show the drop so thats why their closer. Like said Ill do a better shoot when the car is cleaned up and I get my new front this weekend.
Thanks for the comments though guys!!
Looking good. Hows the turbo?
Looks great - biggest question on my mind - HOWS THE RIDE QUALITY?
Same set up I've got. What do you think of the ride quality? From reading on here, it seems it should be good, but I never rode in another lowered car, so I've got nothing to compare to. Let's just say my husband calls my car the bounce house
Lookin good Mike, how is the car running?

That front was meant for the 00-02 I mean it looks soooo good on there! Too bad it was only built for the 95-99
I would say not only to paint front bumper, but maybe have the mirrors/handles done too.
Also those tails look hott but would look better painted IMO. Do work and post more pictures!
Holy crap, those springs really drop the front pretty low. Looks pretty good.
Thanks guys
The turbo is fine, but the tune is not lol. Im actualy putting on another manifold that I have and my original turbonetics super 60 rebuilt with new shaft and .63ar turbine housing, Im just waiting on some couplers/gaskets. I coulda went stg 3 shaft/housing for like the same price but opted not to as Im still on my stock bottom end. I realy need to get going on getting a tune but better hold off til the new setup is on, just wish there were some closer people with hpt
The ride quality is better than a few other lowered cars Ive been in, but my the roads around my area are not good at all soo that doesnt help haha. The only other lowered J-body Ive riden in had a full Tein setup so it was a bit better haha. The road magnets do give a huge drop, but I also notice what some have said about a "clunking" noise with them from not having some sort of coating on the ends. Next on my list are the OEM solid strut mounts and if I have time Ill be picking up a rear swaybar from a buddy this weekend, then that should be it for the suspension for a while. Need to focus on building a motor.
KEEP that front! love the stance! hows it ride?

Did you reuse the rubber bushings from the stock mounts? If not, that might be why they are clunking.
Im getting a wings west big mouth front this weekend which is the only other aftermarket front I like besides the IF, which then Im gona try some glassing on the IF using parts from a stock bumper to make fitment better like Alias did. If it turns out good Ill paint it and keep it, if not Ill prolly hack it up and use the bottom part of it to make a custom lip
Ill see how I like the big mouth though, and its already indigo so I dont have to roll around multi-colored hah. Like said the ride isnt too bad, Ive gotta play with the settings on the struts still cause their set kinda firm.
If you do a little research on the road magnet springs some people have had problems with them making clunking sounds from not having any kind of rubberized coating on the ends or anything. Not sure if theyve improved them yet or not, Ill think of something to fix this.
Welcomed to Loweredville....!
Once you arrive you'll never leave..!
looks awsome mike, i might be getting my springs on within the next couple of weeks
Import Fighter front bumper is the best bumper made for the cavalier. I also like the stock z24 bumper from 95-99 as well.

Nice Jordan, 4drs look even higher than coupes at stock ride height haha. I have the chance to get my base front back with a ww lip, I swear man we would be twins if I did that.
Yea Ill have to pm Alias and see if I can get some pointers on modding fronts to fit the 00 headlights
Realy do love the IF front
I love the IF front!!
Which is why i got one! I cant wait to get it painted and put on!!
