Sorry but a slammed Fbody looks like rice.
Lowered just enough to tuck those tires in out of the 4x4 look........is nice, that's all I did.
Ricers are slammed
, muscle cars aren't.

Everyone does have their opinion and that's mine. Lowered is one thing, slammed is another.

I have the Sportlines & Bilsteins on my '98 SS anf the car looks great. There are some clearance problems, but nothing too major. Car handles great. I have 18 x 9 all around...no problems either.

Mine has sort of a 'raked' look to it... the front tucks the tires right under the fenders 
The back still has several inches of clearance. With the stock exhaust I have a few scrapes on the Y-pipe and a spot on the bottom of the flange where the driver's side Cat is at all well. Nothing major at all though... all cosmetic. I'm about to install a set of Pacesetter LT's and a custom 2.5" dual exhaust. I'm confident that I'll be able to have the exhaust fabbed so that it doesn't scrape too bad. The only thing that I really drag is the air deflector and that doesn't happen too often. It's well worth all of the compliments I get on it
You may be able to get an idea of how it sits with this pic.
