Default Just waxed the sleeper. New drop height. Tell me what you think.

As some of you may know, I just installed my Koni Yellow/GC setup last weekend and I had to raise it up a little to gain some extra suspension travel, so it is currently 1" lower than stock. It used to be 1.75"F, 1.5"R, so this is a good change.

I decided to wash it, use rubbing compound to get out some surface scratches and marks, and then wax. I took some pics, but I have yet to pull the wheels off and use an aluminum polish on them to shine them right up. I will take some more pics to update.

Thanks. Yeah, I sprayed it with black paint when I installed the kit almost two years ago.

No real need to. It is a daily driver and has yet to see track, plus I am moving in August and the job situation is pretty iffy.

It will see the track soon, though. I am pretty much done with the engine setup and it seems to be holding up well for running 10 psi daily on a 150k motor.
