Mr. Sinister, what are the specs of your tires and drop? Your car is just abotu what I am after.
That silver GT on supposed stock cut springs looks wicked too but I can only imagine what it rides like.
Teej, I am sending a PM....

Wow, you have achieved a very nice stance my friend. Props to you sir. WHat brand tires are they? You don't have spacers in the rear do you? Do you have CC plates or aftermarket shocks/struts?

Really...that thing has gotta be lowered a good 3 inches...at the very least....Guys, I'm scared that my fiance is going to cut my ***** off if I buy wheels/springs. But if I tell her, she will NEVER let me do it. My dad was saying I should just do it because there is no way once I get married that I will be able to mod my car.
Haha, he's had his share of bad looks from my mom. She is just real good about not saying anything when he comes home with a new toy for his '55 Nomad wagon. My fiance will definitely be able to tell if I get wheels; she's no where near ignorant.
What would you guys do? I have the money...and then some. We are trying to save for a home, someday, but were not going to be able to buy for at least another 7 or 8 months. Probably more like 1 1/2 years though.
I feel bad spending money that I COULD be saving, but hell, I have only done exhaust and a sub/amp so far. That's nothin'! Guide me here gents...
