BUILD THREAD 87 Cutlass EFI build: 9/13/23..NEW STUFF!

[Injectedcutty]

Might as well update. Got the final logo design pretty much nailed down. Gonna get some stuff made up soon. Been busy with street rods, fixing brakes on Cutlass, and potentially changing careers, but tons of irons in the fire.

Sheesh, it's been 4 months since I've posted on my thread! Didn't do much other than starting my new job at Sysco. Since then I've been working 6 days/week other when I was out with Covid.
Anyways, the Cutlass has been needing a ride height adjustment, but I was dreading changing the ball joints since mine are new. I ended up finding some rear spring spacers at UMI Performance to raise the rear about 5/16" which looks way better IMO. Here is a before and after.....

I know 5/16 doesn't seem like much but it does look like a much better balance front to back.

Coulda just lowered the front and killed two birds. With the raise you can get more coolguy parts. 😉

True. The raise will allow a coilover and a arm upgrade maybe next winter. This will allow me to enjoy the correct ride height for now as I save for goodies, maybe a blower too 😎.

Perfect stance 👍

If I remember correctly some kind of blower was your original plan... but I could be wrong.

Wow!, only 5/16 and there is a visual difference. Fantastic!!
