New DD Bullitts...how do they look & how low should I go?
New wheels and tires mounted on the car.18x9 and 18x10 Bullitts with BFG KDW2s. I think it looks really good but obviously it needs to be lowered and I'm wondering on how low I should go. I bought K-Sport lowering springs off of ebay motors and they say they have an even 2" drop in the front and rear, but now I'm wondering if that might be too low. I haven't sent the money order yet so I'm wondering if I think they will be too low, ifI can cancel my order and maybe go with some H&R springs.

Future plans:
1) I have a free 8" black antenna from AM coming
2) Mach 1 chin spoiler black or possibly have it painted to match the car
3) Possibly a brushed aluminum Bullitt fuel door
4) 50% tint on the taillights, middle brake light and the side markers
5) Either 35% on all windows or 20% on the back with 45% on the side windows (tint on front windows is illegal in michigan and I don't have a doctors note so my tint can't be to obvious or black)
6)Grill delete kit
7) Lowering springs and MM caster/camber plates (the springs depends on how low you think would be too low)
8) Some form of new exhaust either Borla stingers with a MRT catted h or Bassani with an o/r h.
9) Sylvania ultrastar headlights
10) Some custom interior work
11) ?
12) ?

The wheels look awesome, where did you get them? Also, if you lower it 2", you are more than likely going to have to replace your shocks/struts pretty quickly. I wouldn't go over 1.5". Depending on if they are the stock shock/struts, you may want to replace them anyway.
