Keep up the great work!---------------------------------------------Even though this one says hydroholics.net, we are not the ones doing this install. He is doing the install himself, but using our parts. So to answer your question... nope, no illegals working behind closed doors, lol. I am interested to see how low this car gets. Should be cool when it's done.

Yeah I'm doin the install myself that's why I said something about not getting done as fast as the guys at the shop because this is my first suspension build and I'm taking my time to hopefully get it done right on the first time. I didn't notice somebody thought that till a friend pointed it out.  Jeremy, I'm hopin it gets pretty low. I'm concerened about the back not getting as low on the 20s because of the shape of the tubs (they get narrow quick). the front on the other hand should be easy to get low with a little bit of work inside the fender. I thought about goin 18s for a while if it didn't lay right but I just can't do it haha I got to have a 20" or bigger on my cars.

I agree, bigger is better 90% of the time. There are a couple cars out there that had bigger wheels on them and they changed to smaller ones to get lower. I wish they would have left the larger size because it looked better. Keep the 20's on it and see where it goes, chances are it won't be the width of the wheel well, it will be the height.

It's a crazy joint and to say the people who run are rude is an understatement. Looking forward to this build. I always liked Solaras

Well I got a couple small updates. The kit finally made it here yesterday afternoon so hopefully things can get going pretty good this weekend. Got my trim plate for the box done and buiilt my amp rack so far this week and I've been gathering parts. I do need some ideas for a switchbox though. I like the blown bag idea a lot and I was thinking bout hollowing out a crazy lookin plastic skull and making a mohawk out of switches with some filed down extensions so they would be spiked. If anybody has any other suggestions feel free to chime in!Trim Plate (Don't mind the black marker lines on the edge or the amp rack at the bottom it's just temp so I can have some music for now) Pump, cylinders, and manifold  Amp Rack (my amp for my mids/highs will sit on the rack "floating" over the amp for my subs. There's about 3/4" between the bottom of the stand and the other amp)

Looking good Shawn.   As far as a switchbox, you can always do the vintage "Knight Rider" lunch box....oh wait, some of you may be too young to remember that show! http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Metal-Knight-Ride-Lunchbox_W0QQitemZ110416750651QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item19b559e83b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
