Looks great, I think those little wheels you put on the radiator support are gonna get a workout.

Looks nice! I think I would just raise the back about 1/2" though to even it out.

Looks awesome, tho. I'd just even it up a bit, front to rear. Almost looks like the back end is sagging in the photo. Maybe it's just the camera angle.

That's a clean looking ride. VERY nice!!

Looks nice!

Although I have to say having it lowered come emmission testing time is going to be a PIA. I had to raise mine up to get on the dyno rollers. They want a soda can height between the lowest part of the body to get it on! Not a big deal as all I needed to do was adjust the rear up.

Even height is nice to look at, but adding a little rake (rear slightly higher then front) will help in the cornering.

Stock springs to VBP? If stock rear and you go too wide of tire check the rear spring when it is on the ground. They can dig into the back side of the rim as the spring is wide back there.

Perhaps mine is lower, but I wouldn't want to drive mine on the street as low as it is set. It would catch on everything!
