Hard top teaser for schoir



Too bad there is 2 feet of snow in front of the garage. Sorry for the cell phone pik. New hard top purchased from another member. It was red.

It still has to be bolted down. So there is still a gap until it is bolted.

The hardtop looks good on the car...

How stiff is the ride on your car with the 19" inch rims and lowering springs? I have 18"s on mine with the sport suspension and am wanting to lower the car a bit more. It is very stiff already though and I do not want to drastically degrade the ride quality. In the winter the convertible top and seats are constantly popping and buzzing over anything less than perfect pavement. The stance your car has with the 19"s is spot on.

Thanks for the kind remarks. I have h&r coilovers so the ride is quite rough. I do not drive he car in he winter months for a few reasons. The car is in a garage behind 3 feet of snow, the tires are summer tires and do not hold the ground at all and I live in ny where tue roads suck, even out here on long island. The 19s did make it harsher but i give up ride quality for the looks. Not what others would do but the car gets many compliments being a 99.
