Looks really good man...you just need to drop it a good 2-2.5 inches.

Nice, but it really needs some lowering. Or is it a 4x4?

I agree that it looks a little high. Other than that, it looks sweet- especially the rims.

Hey thanx guys, I agree it needs lowered, when i get around to doing the struts and shocks I'm gonna put a set of lowering springs on her. Think a 2 inch drop would be good? Mitch Dogg, look at my sig to see whats been done. Future plans are: soon a TB bypass, if I stay fuel injected a L98(may just go built carbed small-block), A tremec TKO, alum driveshaft, welded Subframe connectors, interior need restored, new spoiler(tired of painting the damn rubber stocker(Its heavy too), some bodywork and new paint, among other things(can't think right now ), Best part of all is I got a great connection at the body shop, Me!

Dang, I have a Formula and maybe I havent noticed but if thats stock, we both need our cars lowered a bit...If only I could go look, my car is off being painted

Rims look great!

btw, I did the TB bypass by going to Lowes/Home Depot and buying a $.17 piece of 2"x1/2" round piece of cooper tube. Then took my two hoses and connected them using the cooper piece and clamping it together....works great!

Mines stock height and the springs are getting kinda shot, shocks and struts wouldn't hurt either. I'll just do all of em at the same time.
