Please post pics of your lowered tri-five. I put mine back on the ground last night after rebuilding all suspension and installing the drivetrain. It seems too low(2'dropped spindles & 2' shorter springs) Will post pics this afternoon. I want to compare to others. Thanks

I would think lowering the center of gravity has a positive affect on cornering at speeds but at the expense of ride quality unless other suspension upgrades are included like swaybars and tuned shocks

I think it is more in "The Attitude is in the Latitude" mindset for the reason most of these cars get lowered since very few I know of ever see use on a road course.

Personally I like the look of a very subtle front end drop of around 1 1/2" from stock height and stock height in the rear. It's just appearance for me....

My Lowered 56' Sassy II

Here is a picture of my 56'.
2 inch dropped spindles, 2 inch blocks in rear and front sway bar.
205 x 70 x 15 Cragers and snappy whitewalled tires!
The rear springs "were" 5 leafs, but I cut-off the smallest leaf due to the rough ride...I love the stance I wound up with.
