The render will never match due to the wheels concept versus reality, unless you toss a Rocket Bunny body kit on there.

Another Update

The plan has always been to lower the car significantly....we like 'em slammed. We experimented with ride height quite a bit, but in order to lower the car where we wanted, we had to add some adjustable stuff in order for the car to align.

First order of business was a set of adjustable lower control arms from Agency Power...




We also needed to correct the toe, and SPC Performance really helped us out with a set of their adjustable rear toe arms!



Here's where it's sitting right now...can you say LOW?





Last but not least, we installed a lightweight crank pulley from Perrin!




More to come!

Please note we've also updated the rendering we posted on page one (post #4) to reflect our current list of sponsors for the car. Thanks to all of the manufacturers that are helping out with this project!

Thanks, I was wondering how Skunk 2 fit in that group.

The brake system is finished! It's not the most aesthetically pleasing car at the moment (we had to remove the front bumper to get the headlights out of the car, which are currently at Umnitza), but the brakes are dead sexy! Next up, exhaust, some laughing gas, and a sound system.

Did they do anything for the rear brakes or just the front?
