I have some pics at home of my car with the RS kit and the Pro-kit. I'll post them later. I just don't have the SS hood, but that shouldn't matter. My car was almost just like yours, only I had the silver stockers and then chrome ZR1s. I'll post pics of both.

If I had the RS GFX I would replace the front with a RK Sport piece. And then lower it. There is a black Z28 with the RS GFX and he put a RK Sport front piece and I think he wants to take them of. Do a search around here and you can see his ride.

Here's a pic from a couple of years ago. The springs are Hypercoils, I'm not even sure if you can buy them anymore.

Here's some pics so you can compare the lowering with the stock 16's and 17" 35th SS rims. These springs are a bit lower than the Eibach Pro-kits (but I hate the pro-kit anyways, just personally had very bad experiences with uneven lowering).

and P.S. don't flame for the huge sub box just chillin in the trunk ... if you look around I have another album on there for "Custom Sub Box Install" that I did that made things look a hell of a lot better back there. Anyways, enjoy!

Back then when I had a regular cat back I never had any trouble at all. Now the car is even a touch lower and has true duals so I have to be careful about where and how I drive the car.

You guys are giving me hope I'm having the RK front spoiler painted now and was going to do a slight drop with BMR's or Hotckis but after reading this I may have to do a lower 1.4-1.5 drop for a better look just afraid I'd be tearing the front end off. Kinda stupid because my Vette is only about 3 inches off the ground
