Thanks guys. The wheels are 17"x 8" Eagle Alloy 211's and the tires are 245/45 Comp. T/A's. I kinda wish I had gone with 17 x 9 on the back, but oh well, I still love em.
So what do you guys think, should I drop it an inch? Maybe 1.5"? I can't decide if I should spend my limited cash on that or drilled slotted rotors.

The pix looked distorted and then I realized my glasses were steamed up. My color combo and yours is a hard act to follow!! What a gorgeous bird!! I hope mine looks that good when I finish with her this summer. Thanks for the pix, Dave. :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

Thanks for the input guys, I think I'll get some prices on shocks and springs. The front of the car has been repainted thanks to an a-hole that pulled a u-turn in front of me last summer (and then promptly screwed off into traffic before I could get turned around). The damage wasn't too severe, I had to replace the hood and driver side fender. Had them remove some surface rust on the drivers door, so it got paint too. But that's when I ran out of $$. I'm hoping to get it in to the body shop to get the back half and the p/s door refinished.
As far as the drop goes, is 1" going to be enough? I still want to be able to drive through the odd parking lot with speed bumps
