Slammed Lincoln

[Freshmeat]

Looks sick on stock wheels! I really like it, but we'll see if it ever happens.

Discuss.

[mrltd]

meh...

[Freshmeat]

It would come up to 6-7" for driving if I'd ever actually do it. We'll see what happens. The only thing making it a possibility is that I have a buddy who retails Air Ride Technologies equipment and said we can do the whole system for around $400 using 3/8" line.

[mrltd]

no shit.. Great deal. I'd love to do air ride on the wagon.

IF it happens I'll be sure to get you some part numbers. He could probably even order the parts and have them shipped to you if you'd want to go through him. IF

[phayzer5]

DO EET.

For that kind of money its worth a shot. Just make sure the rest of the car is up to the task.

Just make sure the rest of the car is up to the task.

How many times can I quote you on that? Hehehe.
I'm carefully going through it and fixing a LOT of things. Basically the only thing I don't have much interest in having great is the paint and that's because it just doesn't bother me that it's ugly, as long as it performs. It runs great. I ordered mufflers yesterday. I've been going through the wiring and fixing all the minor issues (dome/map lights, cruise, etc) because I want to make sure the car will be worth the efforts before I sink ANY large amount of money into it. The $250 I'll have invested in the exhaust is classified as a large investment, but I need that so I can stop getting headaches when I drive it.

Looks great, do it. It'd look better with spoked wheels and window tint.

[Freshmeat]

The stock wheels should be able to hold enough tire for the power I plan to push, so they'll stay. If anything, I'll try to find some 16" or 17" stock Lincoln wheels to clear big brakes... if I ever do that.

As for tint, I'm not a fan of dark tint at all, but I would like to go 50% all around to help keep a little bit of the sun out.

Looks great, but the rear looks a bit too low. Even if it's just for show, I don't like the look of the rear being lower than the front, even level kinda bothers me. A slammed Lincoln with a slight rake would be badass.

[Freshmeat]

It's level- just looks low because of the camera angle.
If I'd do it, I'd probably do about a 1" rake.

[Grand Marquis GT]

I like!

Meh, slammed GM is better. :p
