All back together with shortened springs, new rubber on all 4 corners and I'm liking it. I may bring the back down another 1/4 - 3/8". Front is now 215/65 x 15 on 6" rims and back is 235/60 x 15 on 7" rims. Point of reference, the 7 inch rims are 4" backspace which meant I did not have to relocate the emergency brake cable bracket. Best I could tell there was over 1/8" of clearance so I did grind an 1/8 - 3/16" from it for a bit more.
A short ride around town was striking in how much smoother it rode. The Pirellis were old, hard and had flat spots and I'm glad to be rid of them.
When I first lowered the front like you the back was to high now it isn't. I am running 225/70/15. Looks like you could come down about an inch in the rear

I like how your 70 series tires fill the wheel well. My 215/70 were similar and it's taking me a bit to get used to these lower profile tires which is part of the reason I felt I needed to lower it. I do think I'm going to enjoy the ride and handling, the difference was quite noticeable in just a 5 mile ride out and back.
