Default Anyone using a Lowering Kit?

Was curious how hard to install on a 96 coupe. I'm sure the rear bolts are a breeze as I have done my 78 and it looks pretty similar. But, what about those front suspension wedges? Is the ride affected negatively and does the car sit too low?

I think the car would look a little sleeker if I could get it down even an inch or two.

Thanks...

Thanks guys. I had also posted in the Tech conference and got some insight. I think for now I'm gonna just lower the rear and inch or so and see what it looks like. I really don't feel like tearing the front apart. It's not that bad. The rear definately has to come down though. :smash:

Thanks again...
