I agree Corz... that wheel gap is still a hell of a lot. See my sig. :) I enjoy collecting coins off the ground with my air dam. Those are after adjusting the springs?

Re: Lowered! with pics (litevette)
Like Corz said, "fully loaded".
Iron heads, copper-brass rad, standard water pump and A/C give a lot of frontal weight.
Other than that, just running unbutchered 550 lb springs from VetteBrakes.
If I went w/ alum rad, alum water pump, dropped the A/C and had alum heads, I might expect a 1/4" increase in ride height from the weight savings.
The 550s will get you down VERY low though. Run them with a big block and you'll be a ground-scraper.

Re: Lowered! with pics (SnoDrgn)
I have 460lb springs with 1 1/4 coil cut out. It gives me 2 1/2 clearance to the bottom of my front spoiler.
My front fender lip is at 26 inches, with a 255/45/17 tire that measures 26 inches diameter. If anything, I wish it was about 1/2 - 1 inch higher. 26.5 - 27.0 fender height is about perfect for these cars with lower profile tires.
Nice to see that you finally got it done Corey.
