DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Moar low for sure. You changing wheels to, or are you going to stay close to stock? Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Moar low for sure. You changing wheels to, or are you going to stay close to stock? yes, looow is on its way. i work at an auto store here in australia so i can get parts for cost price (sooo handy!) i ve got some part numbers for lowering blocks but i wasnt real sure about what size to get. SUGGESTIONS? how could i go about lowering the front also? im not sure about the wheels for now, the stockies will stay put for the time being until i get some important things out of the way then ill look at some new shoes.

DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Most guys on here that do static drops use 720 4x4 leafs and 3" blocks. Then shave the front bump stops and crank the torsion bars all the way down. Quote Link to comment
DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I could tell you more, but i don't really know that much. Mine is bagged and lays frame. Frame is notched and custom front end. But i know the info is here. Quote Link to comment
rgk93 Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 ah righto. sounds good. anything is an option right now, because like i said i can get pretty much anything at cost price. i do love my 620 :) Quote Link to comment
DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 I love mine too. I'd notch the frame and throw on air bags and drop spindles. 4 link the rear end. Its a sexy look. Quote Link to comment

DeviousPsycho620 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hers what I'm thinking for paint. 350z Blue also known as true blue. Doing the bullets in chrome vinyl and satin black on the lower. The color matching the rims to the blue paint. Quote Link to comment
