I think it looks amazing. Your car it the same color as mine, and I'm hoping to get some cobra rims before too long.

lol it is lowered. ford c springs with tokico hp's. i also removed the front isolators. i can technically cut the c springs for more of a drop but i dont really feel like having to get more suspension parts to correct the geometry. as of now im getting bumpsteer with the 275's up front. . . . i do feel like i need to go lower though, but its almost out of the question.

heres another pic from far away and more level with the car so it doesnt look as high. you can also compare it to my dads ride height/gap
