I'll make it a double WOW, very nice photos, thanks for putting them up. Now an observation from my inquisitive mind. 2 73's, your car stands a bit higher than the GTO in both the front and rear pics. In theory I guess they should be at the same height even though the GTO came with 15" wheels and the LeMans with 14". So I guess my question is do you know if that GTO is lowered or maybe what I really am asking is what size tires and wheels are on each car? Just curious, takes nothing away from two outstanding looking Pontiacs!

Love the shot of the rear views, here's mine.

Ray, the coils are a little weak on the GTO. thats why it sit's a bit low, Glen took me for a little rip in it, for a stock 400/4gear she works good, I wore a nice grin after we got back. , but even with the weak coils she still rides good, he plans on changing them over the winter.
As for the tires, we both have 245/60/15's, I changed my front coils an shocks just a little over 4 years ago, an I have air shocks in the back that I run 60 psi with separate lines on each shock, I've yet seen any car with air shocks that run only one line sit even. The way mine sits for me has the perfect stance, not to high an not to low.

Yes now that I look back at the photos I can see the white letters on the GTO tucked up under the wheel well lip.

My tires and wheels cross reference to the stock 70's & 14" that the car came with. Mine are a bit more narrow at 215/70R14 and stand 25.9 inches. My BFG chart tells me yours are 26.6 inches. My stance is more in line with yours, so there was no question the GTO was riding lower.
