My '96 CE LT4 had been lowered 1-1/2" all the way around. The person I bought the car from used the kit from Mid-America which basically used longer screws. I like the look and think it will be quite competitive when autocross season starts next month.

I don't have an online photo I can send a link to, but I will email a photo to you. I run 295s on my car all the way around, on C5 wheels, and unfortunately can't answer your question about the rub on the fenders if you lower your car.
Let us all know how things work out!
