Headed up to Brandon's (Blazingtrails) place this past weekend to finally lower the TB. We used the Belltech 795SP kit and lowered the front and rear by 3 inches. We plan on cutting the rear springs an inch next time i'm up at his place to make the wheel gap more flush with the wheel gap in the front. Right now it's sitting a little bit higher than the front. Front is currently sitting at 29 & 1/8th inches from the bottom of the wheel to the fender. Rear is currently sitting at 30 & 3/8th inches from the bottom of the wheel to the fender. I took plenty of pics from this project; hopefully you like the drop as much as I do. Definitely makes the TB looks much more aggressive & sporty. Handles way better too now as well. No more body roll, able to hit corners hard :cool:

Plenty of lowered pics:

And yes of coarse the Bathitch drew blood once again, with Brandon being another victim :rotfl:

did you get it to align? if not i have the correct arms fornt looks way cambered.

also if you want to bring the rear down i have custom springs that will bring it close to what you have in the front now.

And just a heads up looks like you used the drop springs and almost no spacers in front so its over a 2 inch drop. Belltech will void the warranty because the shock will get a busted seal since its past its 2 inch lowering max. Im a dealer for belltech so have seen it many times. You should lift the front up

I haven't got it aligned yet, it's been real hard with work lately. I forgot to update this thread when me and Brandon lowered the back even more. It looks way more flush now with the front. We did use spacers in the front, one large, and the one small on both.

More pics of the lowering are in my build thread as well as a comparison to when it was just 3" drop in the back and then 5" drop when we cut 2 inches off the springs http://gmtnation.com/forums/topic/12058-capotes-build-thread-batblazer/
