I wanted to see what the 86garage people ran. This wasn't a "me wanting to copy your setup" thread. Quite similiar to the "post pics of your ride" threads only with suspension mods. So you should post up your suspension. As I know there are other threads about this, but its kinda cool to see all the differences between people and their tastes for driving.

People like me don't have the privilege yet to to make custom pieces. Some peoples suspension is all home made and custom where as like mine its bought parts that I put on. Trying to spark up some more discussion on this board
