Default Pics of interior

Here are some pics of the interior and trunk area. Note the shock tower we used vs. the one DSE send with their kit. Much stronger than stock GM metal but allows more room for 3" exhaust with a lowered car. Note the roll cage center bar. My builder designed this so we can take the center bar out when needed. I see now this is offered from many roll cage manufacturers. Very handy when just cruising around to take this center bar out.

Default DSE suspension

I love DSE's suspension components. The only negative is- not real easy to adjust the front coil-over shocks, but the upper and lower tubular a-arms look very cool. Usually you can set the ride height once and not touch it again. About the ride--that's what sells folks in this area on a g-machine. Once they get in this car and feel how tight and the handling of this car they are sold. These cars are a blast. And yes, my family (wife and 4 year old son), after the Lord, there is nothing better than cruising around together.

Here is a pic of my lower DSE control arms
