Default RE: Lowering it

I had a '99 dakota R/T that i lowered 6 inches in the rear and 4 in the front.It satgreat but it rode like a dump truck. I was 19 at the time and couldnt have cared less because it handled amazingly well but needless to say anyone who rode shotgun HATED it. I also had to buy adjustabletubular upper & lower control arms to get the caster/camber to come back to anywhere near spec. Suspension mods can get gnarly but its just a matter of whats more important to you.

that looks perfect now all you need to do is take off the side moldings and get rid of the sling shot antenna.

I sold it so no more mods for me.....I hated depreciating a nice car with the mileage I drive, so I got my money back out of it and got a cheap car that Iwon't feel badabout putting 250,000 miles on.

Burple!! VERY good description of that color. And around here at least as rare as a Rally White S too.

We saw a Strato sedan on the road to Pa this last time. I think it was in Ken's (Siber Express) state of Tennessee, since we spend a lot of time there on that trip. But w/my MIL and my wife in the car, it wasn't even worth mentioning. Who, besides me, was there to appreciate it.
