Agree do not cheap out on front tires,i got lucky with my nexens but i didnt know any better at the time. There is no trick to lowering in the front just depends on the setup your going to run. Only the rear requires work when ya lower it, and that has alot to do with what size tire you go with, i run a 28good inch rear tire and i have to roll fenders n big hammer mod

What wheels were you planning on going with? Is this a track only setup?

On stock springs you can run that setup fine,if your lowered i dont know anyother way without rolling, its not hard to roll at all just rent the tool from 69ta, and if your going with drag brakes you might be able to run normal sl, not the f body specific ones, i would check on that because the f body specific wheels cost alot more per rim,

If your willing to beat your car with a hammer to get tires to fit you shouldnt mind rolling fenders lol

Yeah alot of people i know have done that,if ya havent done it yet the tool is the best and safest way, or im sure someone local can do it for ya, or just do the b ball bat ,just make sure to kinda heat up the panel a lil, i have seen alot of people roll and get stress cracks
