Those pics are with the hotchkis suspension? what wheel and tire size are you using? I was hoping to use that kit and had hoped that the drop was greater than I am seeing on your car. I'm sure there will be some settling that still needs to happen but it still looks almost stock. Nice looking ride, how did you configure the seat belts? Looks like the lap belt is built into the base, does it have shoulder belts?

Talking Thanks for the comps...............

joeljet,

I am 6 foot and the headroom is close, even with the seats all way back, but adequate. Only the driver's seat is powered and yes it does work. Due to my heigth, I leave the driver's seat all the way back and all the way down. The seats are NOT a bolt in, and require welding extensions on three of the mounting tabs and removing the inboard rear mounting tabs completely. Call me if you want to get more specific info on the conversion: Les Iden 626-333-4395

The Dual Gate works as adverised and is still available new.

Speedfreq,

The tires are 245/50 X 16 on 8" Americans. Yeah, I was disappointed with the "air" between the tires and the wheel cutouts, but the sub-frame connectors only have 5" of ground clearance as it is. The repoped 1st gen lap belts are a compromise (no shoulder belts yet) since there were no belts with the car and I have been unable to locate a nice used set.
