I don't have pictures but I did see it once. Looked mean from the front, stupid from the side, and it looked very sketchy to drive.

Bleh, fine, so then what would u recommend? just getting 1-2" lowering all around? then id also have to get new struts if u did that, but handling would rock, and my front bumper would get even MORE owned when i go in/outta parking lots

why not just get a tire with larger sidewall? that would raise it, fill out the wheel well a little more and give your car a better stance.

Re: Rear lift pics

What would you recommend to take out squat in my 88 carmaro rear end, I have 6 cly springs in front. These Stupid kids welded all of the rear control arms and cut out the shock mounts so they could lower it all around. what would you recommend doing to raise the back end so I could put racing slicks on.

You have alot more problems than you know. Essentially you currently have no suspension on the rear of your car.

You'll have to cut the RCA's loose, get relocation brackets for the axle, get new mounts for the shocks, get new RCA's, etc, ect, ect.

You're better off getting rid of the car than trying to do all the fab work to fix all the stuff those kids screwed up.
