it is slightly higher in the front. i noticed that right when i put the shocks and springs on. i think it differs from car to car, cuz ive seen the exact shock/spring combo on other cars, and the front and rear sit exactly the same height off the tire. but its such a small difference i dont pay too much attention to it. thanks bro

I've seen the car in person, and the height difference from front-to-rear is not noticeable. I'm surprised it looks so exagerrated in the pictures!

Sweet pics and nice car! Po-po don't give you any problems for not having your front plate not mounted? I'm hoping to head back to Langley AFB in 08' and I know they gave me hell all the time back in the 90's even the SP's.

When you set up a car for sunset shots, put the sun to either your right or left (never behind you) and angle the car so that the sunset horizon follows the body line down the side. That is how we do it for the magazine shoots

That sucks he lives on the east coast....he could have some amazing sunset shots on the west coast for sure...very nice
