And the batt's in the back are sitting at a cool 14.8V with it fired up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
So if you ever rear end someone I would be afraid of something blowing up/it all going poof. And have you done any upgrades to the brakes seeing as you have added so much weight to the car and it has to increase your braking time. But sick overall man, I love it. Same car as my mom's. What size is the stock rim btw, 14?

 
Thanks, and I have no problem stopping quickly even with the weight...it's in pretty darn good shape (the car in general).

I forgot to take a pic of the height of the rear-end though with everything out to see how much it drops with the batt's and everything in...meh //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif
