Man the only 2nd gens I see up north are rusted out bombs with old ladies driving them on original 1970's plates. All the good ones are locked up in garages and only come out for car shows.

You aren't lowering **** when you have side pipes. Only thing you can do is get thinner subframe mounts and hope it doesn't mess with engine bay clearances.

He's going for the old school look, and he nailed it in spades. It's not a caynon carver. The paint & car are beautiful. He lurks here form time to time too.

Heating a spring is for import hacks.

Think of it this way-
With a lowered car and a regular exhaust, would/do you cringe when you scrape the exhaust? Now imagine that that exhaust is highly visible and covered in expensive chrome or ceramic coating. And that the side pipe system is 2 grand.
