    here's pictures of how it used to look; low.. and pictures of the current stance, put it back to stock height because of header to ground clearance. pics of recently rebuilt front end too. let me know what you guys think.. too high in the front huh?

    Looks awesome! Drive it for a while to see if the front end settles a bit lower before you decide it's too high.

    What mufflers are you running and how loud is that setup? It looks identical to mine (2 1/2" pipe), except I have the long-body Dynomax race bullets... I'm a week or two from cranking mine.

    Awesome car, I like it both ways too, but I bet it's a better ride now....
    And great work on the x-pipe too.

    everything looked great lowered man! i wish you would have left it like that, but looks good hopefully the front will settle out if not about 1inch and you will be set, the x pipe turned out awesome btw
