2008 Chevy Silverado extended cab, lowered seven inches in the rear and five inches in the front (still not enough). Way too high from the factory.

Mine is my 57 Chevy pickup. About the wife / honeymoon thing it was a 67 Plymouth GTX 440, 4speed. Still have the wife after 37 years but wish I still had the GTX too.

Thanks for the kind words, Brian. I originally bought it for my Mom. One of those deals where I could never sell it, it's a member of the family now.

Not to get too far OT, but do you remember when the Chevy II wagons were the schitz in the lower Stock classes? IIRC they got a pretty hefty weight break over the 2-door cars plus better weight distribution.

My DD '80 Malibu/229 V6/TH350C is a piece, but it's MY piece. In another 30 years they'll say it has 'patina'. Now it could be said the original paint's kinda shot, the only time it looks halfway decent is when it's wet! lol But no rust and no accidents (had it since 12K miles). I have a Vortec engine for it but it's not together yet.

Only have 1,800 miles on it wanna get a good break in first.
H&R springs and a Borla is next, amazing lil ride shouldnt have waited so long to get in one glad i did!

Awesome. I have 2 friends with gti's. One with an APR stage 1 tune and the other with a ko4 and tune and I had an audi a4 with the 1.8t running 10lbs of boost. Those vag cars are freakin awesome, you will love it for as long as you have it! Get vag-com too and get rid of all the stupid noises and warnings.
