Agreed. I will double check on the front tire height tomorrow again and report back. It might be closer to 26.5" actually right now but it needs to come down. The big thing for me is engine cradle clearance. I had like 3.75ish inches with the old 225/60/15's before I raised the front up. I ended up lightly hitting the bellhousing on a nasty Iowa backroad cruise and scraping the headers hard a couple of times at that height. I raised it up about an inch and never had another issue. I think 5" of engine cradle cross member height would be enough though with quality shocks and springs. I'm at around 6.5" right now so I should be good to go even if I lower it back down. For the record....your car looks killer sitting down like that IMO.
