My same problem, front bolts frozen/rusted so bad, I couldn't break them, tore up the bolt on passenger side, and so far have just left it alone. I lowered my back, but I'll be damn if it does not look lowered all around, (check it out in my profile). What did you pay for your front spring, where did you get the bolts from, or did they come with the spring, and how hard to change it? I know, lots of questions, you can PM me the answers if you like, and thanks. 
Your ride is looking real sharp with those new wheels.

I know it's hard for you to believe, but they don't look better to everyone. You're right about the drawbacks, though.

Dropped mine last weekend. WCC C6 Lowering bolts front and back. Need an alignment. Have Ace Slick wheels and Vrestein tires 18/19 waiting in the garage. Guess I better get busy.

Other than steep driveways (which I'm a victim of), what do you consider "the drawbacks"?

I cut the bushings completely off the front bolts that were already in the spring as the kit does not come with new ones. The used spring that I found was from mrjim001. Got it for $40 and some gas. Great person to deal with. He might have another one for you if you need one. The spring itself was not real bad to do. It was kind of a pain as you have to take the lower control arms off. Not just loose but off. Then you will need an alignment after everything is back together. Took most of the day and that was driving for 2 hours to get the spring. I can even turn the front bolts without having to take the tire off now. Just jack it up so the tire is off the ground to get my hand in there. All in all, I enjoyed myself that day and bonded with the car even more. It just never ends, does it??

My driveway is so steep that not only do I have to hit it at a 45 degree angle, but I also have to get a slight running start or the car will actually get one of the rear wheels completely off the ground.
No lowering for me.
