If you didn't like that slammed look that's cool, but those are some major fender/wheel gaps.

Looks like you did it to give you more ground clearance on the cross over pipe. I am in the same boat. I would love to lower it, but my exhaust is so low. I would have to get a new k-member, and then redo the exhaust. Not out of the question, but It is going to have to wait for now.

Your car looks good.

Yeah the exhaust and cross pipe are one of the last few things to finish up. I still dont care for the gap in the rear fender

I'm also in the same boat. My choice for headers has limited my to driving a 4x4. I'm debating getting new headers so I can lower it. Damn.

Car is looking good. Has it been driven at all since the springs were installed? If not, the car will need to settle after a few hundred miles. It's amazing how much springs will settle after a few miles.

Well that is good news. I would be happy if it dropped just a little bit more. I did like the old drop but it was just too much of a pain in the ***. Just taking a drive on around pot holes became hazards. As you can see in the pictures there was not a hole lot i could do with the cross pipe sitting so low.
