My car has always sat kind of high in the back and it bugged me so I lowered it:

Opinions... did I get it too low? The back is acually 1 1/2 inches higher than the front but it doesnt look like it. It seems to me that I maybe on the edge of too low. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!!

I think it looks good, but I also think it needs a black stripe of some kind on the sides. (JMO)

Looks great . I think mine sits even lower . Time to take a drive on a long and twisty road and have fun .

It's still a sixteenth of an inch high, but I'd leave it.
LOL right!

Thanks for the quick comments!! On a flat surface it seems to sit a little better. The only thing is once I put the rear bumper on and the spare and jack in (with that extra weight) will then it sit too low? I used 2" lowering blocks. I guess if it is I could switch then out for 1 1/2 inch ones.

I hope its OK cause I really dont like messing with those spacers..alot of work.

Thanks again

Perfecto! That second picture looks mean and amazing - it looks like your car is going 100mph!

Absolutely perfect stance! :thumbsup:

(Of course, I'm kind of biased):

What size tires and wheels are you running?

I like the looks but I would wait to see if you're hitting the bump stops over dips at freeway speeds. Take it from one who knows, that is too low.

I love it. Looks aggressive but still classic. Definitely looks ready to race. Going for something very much like that for mine.

2 Inch lowering blocks for the back. Are they stock rear springs? And what did you do in the front?

IMO it looks perfect. What have you done to the suspension other than the 2" lowering blocks in the back??

How much gas is in it?
Crap!! I forgot about gas. Gas, spare and jack ugh... Its empty now I bet if filled its gonna be too low :( I guess if it is I will have to change to the 1 1/2" blocks.

Im not sure what rear springs I have but the are not stock cause they cause it too sit way too high. The fronts were not stock either, they made the front too high so I cut off some of the coils. So Im not sure what I had but, I kinda like the way it sits now. I dont know how its gonna ride though.
