Here's the before:

Here's the after:

The springs are Eibachs BTW
and no the car isn't yellow it's actually orbit orange but the sun and camera makes it look a lot more yellowish.

Great look!

Can we get a shot from say 15ft away. Profile of the entire car maybe?

Thanks

Thanks again for the compliments!
Still hoping to see your Fiero in person Tigger!

The handling is definitely better and the ride really isn't any worse than it was before.

Oh that reminds me, I have the original WS6 springs if anyone is interested.
Eibach springs cost $249.00 from the Fiero store.

Looks awesome. the only shame is you wont be able to drive it much because of winter.. i cant wait to dig into mine, but i may have to wait til after winter unless someone lets me use their garage. Ill only need to keep the car in there for about 6 months. =(

I really appreciate all the compliments!!

The wheels are 15's. I went with those because I wanted lightweight rims to cut some weight off the car. The wheels only weigh 13 IB's and at the time they were the lightest wheel that I could find that would fit the Fiero.
I've since found the SSR Competition rims that, even in a 16, are even lighter than these so i'm debating right now on whether to
get the SSR's or not.
BTW the tires are: BFGoodrich 225/ZR60/15's
all the way around.

Well tigger or anyone else for that matter, if you want to see Dave's Fiero then you have to visit him, because he won't ever drive the car unless it is sunny. He won't drive it in the rain at all. Also you won't be able to go for a ride in it unless you sit on the floor cause he took the seat out to save on wieght. He has this thing for wieght
O yea nice car Dave.

Thanks Ken

That car looks great Dave! The Eibach's drop the car more than they claim.

Do ya'll think those springs would work with my car? I have 235/45/17's. I am worried that they would rub on bumps.

Lookin good Dave!
I just got my Eibachs this week and will have them in this coming Saturday.

I sure hope they ride better (handling wise) than stock.

I have an 86 and 87, and I though they all sat that low.

I have never lower them but they are as low as that yellow one with 14" tires.

When I went to jack up the front end, I have to lift up on the noes to get the jack under it.
