Well, I went ahead and lowered it the Old School way by heating the coils. Surprisingly, the car it not real bouncy. I have the stock 15" wheels with spacer hub caps from Moon Eyes. I put on a set of smaller 185/60/15 tires with Port-O-Wall wide white. She looks good, like an early 60's custom. I'm ready to ad on a set of Lake pipes to complete the look. Thanks everyone!

I have thought about lake pipes, but also I am throwing around the idea of pencil tips. I would not mind seeing a picture of your car with lake pipes.
