With a 1" drop all the way around the rear sits a bit higher than it was, by maybe 1/2". The front actually settled down maybe about 1"..combo of the drop springs and the a arm drop. It sat higher with the stock springs designed for all the iron in the engine, but aluminum heads/intake, headers all lightened it up and the front sat a tad higher. It has a nice level look now(maybe a VERY slight rake), with the tops front tires just barely starting to tuck under the fender.

very nice...how much did the entire set up cost you in the end? also, did you go with roller perches or spring?

Standard perches. Everything all together was maybe only like $800-850? I'd have to add it up, but that included poly bushing upgrades, a bit of cost to get bushings pressed in etc. and it was upper and lower control arms(fully assembled), springs front and rear, standard perches, shocks, shipping etc. I replaced everything except the strut rods, shackles and sway bars.

I pieced it mostly, but they have different kits.
