If I do lower it its gonna be just a tinnnyyy bit. The gsx and gst exhausts are diff, on the gsx the exhaust goes over the a arms, on the gst it goes under which sucks becuase when going over bumps and shit it will scrape, even more so obviously if lowered. doesnt look that low but I was driving behind it today in my bmw and saw it come real close to the floor ![http://i56.tinypic.com/9t0sq8.jpg](http://i56.tinypic.com/9t0sq8.jpg) ---

update AWD swap might be coming quicker then expected lol… Friend/mechanic just called me, I guess were going half on a fully built 95 gsx,built motor, fmic, je pistons, rods n shit,spun bearing but has new crank, act stage 2, 3" full exhaust, gauges, fuel system, ext… Mechanic wants exhaust, head and clutch, everything else is mine including title for $500… Think its a pretty good deal. Hes gonna strip everything off needed to do awd swap, im also gonna take Greddy fmic and piping, gauges, walboro 255 and some random shit and sell the rest… Ill have pics Fri if anyone needs parts. ---

Odd. no way bro lol, waiting for a huge amount of cash that should be coming within the next couple months hopefully… I dont want to half ass build the thing so I figure wait until I can drop $10k into the fucker and do it right… The only reason I am doing the awd swap so early is becuase this 95 gsx came into my lap for cheap… I can take EVERYTHING I need out of the car and STILL get my money back and probably make a profit… I am prolly actually even gonna wait to do that until winter too, but at least ill have all of the parts laid out ready to go. ---

why wouldnt you just sell the car you have and get another red eclipse thats a gsx, to begin with? I am beyond baffled why you would awd swap your car, when they make them. ---
