Default Baby's Got a New Pair of Shoes

After owning this car for 28 yrs I decided to try a new look, what do ya think? I gotta do something with the brakes come spring. Should I lower it a little? I don't think it looks to bad where its at. Wheels are 18's. I know its my car and I can do what ever I like, but its still nice to know what your GTO peers think.

IMO the stance looks perfect just the way it is now (). Very nice!

That is one of the first A-bodies that I have seen that looks really good with 18's. My son says that is what he wants on our 71, 18 front-19 rear. I've been against it.
I might have to reconsider.

Do you have any other angles? I'd like to see a full side shot.

Looks just fine to me. Maybe a little high in the front, but not much. Probably not enough to go thru the hassle of lowering it a 1/2" - 3/4"

That'd be a fun car. Any drivetrain mods?

Drivetrain is a 400/400 with shift kit, and a 3:55 12 bolt rear, heads have a little port work, bigger cam and a cliff q-jet. Car runs and drives very nice, rebuilt suspension with bigger sway bars and poly bushings. I have a 455 at the machine shop for a winter project

I was thinking the samething with the front, not worth buying new springs so I probably will (should) just leave it alone, but was thinking of removing a half a coil. I know it changes the spring rate, but I'm not sure how much it will lower it. I will probably wait until the 455 is in the car, the aluminum heads and intake may bring the front end up some, we'll see.
