.....like this cutty here:



anybody got an idea what wheel size this cutty got on?
looks like 20" to me.. right? what do you think he did with the suspension? I got hydraulics over here (not installed yet),.. so if I install my hydros the car also goes low like this cutty here? or I need more mod on the suspension (a-arms, trailing arms, frame)?

thx for infos, links, pics or somethin other helpfully

thanks from Germany!! Kev


oh btw... I want to put some 20" american torq thrust on my monte, for that classical smooth look ..perhaps anybody got any pics of a monte carlo (or any other g-body) with 20" torq thrusts?

From what I've heard, Chevy S10 drop spindles are an easy swap, which will help you get on the ground in the front. We had a customer buy a set of our S10 drop control arms as well, and he got his Regal on the ground with them, but I don't know how much modifying he had to do to make them work.
Out back, there's not much in the way to make those cars drop. If you go too wide with the wheels you may run into clearance issues with the wells, but you can always cut to fit...

Good luck with your project- be sure to get us some pictures of that American beast in front of some German landmarks!!

should be low like my buddy jakes

Found some pictures of that Regal with our arms:

cool, thx guys!!

@Andy (ur2highmn) you got any infos what he did to sit that low? wheelspecs? more pics?

@Phil you got some more / other pics of these arms? price?

ya phil they the same....
but did the opposite to help clear 24 on a cutlass..... s10 lift spindels.....lol

Here's a link to the arms on our site:

http://www.fbirides.com/product.asp?idno=262045

Retail price is $479.95 a set (uppers and lowers), and FBI members get them for $419.95 a set.They include bushings and balljoints, and come powdercoated silver.We also offer billet steel cross-shafts for the upper arms, but to keep your cost down we keep them separate since you can also re-use your stock shafts...

As for Lumpy's question... just straight-axle it and do it right from the start!

yeah looks good! how much is that shipped to APO (army post office)? ...but if I would go with these, I also have to switch from hydros to airride.. I already got a hydraulic-kit over here.. I think bags could go lower, because without air in the bag they goes pretty much flat and need no "room".... with a hydraulic I always got a spring in there..

IM sent.
