Thanks, amazing how much 1 1/4" can make in the appearance of the stance.

Car looks great Nck. I really like those wheels. I agree the front could come down a little bit, but the tire fills the wheel well pretty much.

Thanks! I like the full wheel well look for sure. Its probably some kind of deep seeded issue I have left over from the 90's Pro Street and Street Machine CarCraft days. Those were my impressionable Jr.High years when I got into this stuff....LOL

Yeah, I just measured my cross member clearance and it is at 3 1/2". Waaaay too low for a driver. I will keep in mind your 5" suggestion, I believe that is sound advice. It may look killer right now being that low, but it sure won't handle any speed bumps or other obstacles. I think in order to have something that low and functional would require an Air Ride suspension in order to change height when needed. Not into that...

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.
