ohhh! ok. well heres an up date with pics to follow. last friday my buddy and I decided to work on my elky instead of his house for a change. i wanted to redo the valve lashing because i think somethings wrong with it. problem is i cant find some cheap perimeter bolt valve covers at the junk yard for cheap. so instead we changed out the rear suspention. we put in the new -1" springs and the hotchkis rear sway bar. well its alot more than a 1 inch drop. its more like 3 inches! so my *ss end is lower than the front end. its nice that its lower, but this dont look right to me. i hope i can just inflate my air shocks to make the stance better. well thats it for now.

Ya, it does look 3'' dropped.....Hey, Have you used your rear air shocks yet? Im pretty sure you will level it out to where you want it..?

Using air shocks to raise the ride height risks breaking the mounting studs. Been there, done that, got a T-shirt that says STUPID.

You can always mix it up a lil and throw in the Raman Noodles.AKA Crackhead Soup NO need to apoligize to anyone for taking the 'Elky to the shop...Sometimes that's the best place to get sh*t done!!

i dont have issues with the parking brake, i was using the bricks to keep the car from rolling when i jacked up the *ss end to put in the suspention. the parking break only werks for the rear wheels, not the fronts. safety 3rd! 8)

i feel like crap for sending it to a garage now, because i thought i could do it my self and wasted all this time doing other things when i had the money to get it fixed right 4 months ago.
