I should have fair bit of adjustment with my coil over setup. Plus I have 2" drop spindles in the front.

I definitely think you got the combination right, love the look.

I really like the ride height too. I hope the weight of a V8 doesn't mess things up for ya, that'd be a real pain...

Making it lower wouldn't be a bad thing. I'm just worried about the exhaust being too low.

That's what I was saying, I love the lowered look, smashing the exhaust on a speed bump would suck, haha

Where are you going to put these? What are tri bar emblems? Im my opinion neither them nor the old 5.0 emblems belong on a classic. I got these for mine.
I have to agrre with tx65coupe. When I was finishing my car, I went as far as buying the late model 5.0 emblems and still have them but I changed my mind and went with these instead. I get compliments on them all the time.

Ohhhhhhhh, I so totally agree with this. I've seen these emblems one a classic coupe before (it was actually a candle apple red '66 coupe) and the emblem looked GREAT! Much better than the 302 pony and tri-bar emblems, IMO.

Those emblems are pretty cool too.
