Thanks! I have some lowering springs for the front and the heater hose mod for the rear, but some reason the car may be already lowered some I need to double check. I'm also thinking off removing the ground efx's.

A drop will make the car a lil better, & remove the side moldings. & IMO keep the rs kit on it looks great!

Any reason you think it may be lowered already? It certainly doesn't look any lower than stock, at least not to me..

Whatever the case, it looks good. Rims do make a huge difference, but it'll look a lot better once its lowered.

I like the stock look, but the black with the lip is pretty good too

The reason I say that is that because I've seen pics of stock suspension Camaro's that look higher than mine. It may be that I may not be on level ground when I start paying attention to the stance. LOL!! I will be installing the springs as soon as I get a chance. It sucks when you have the parts but no time, its a tease!! LOL!!
