Should It Be Lower?

Heres the best picture I have of the car. I don't mind the stance now, but I've gotton mixed reviews... I'm currently undecided, but should I drop it? If so how much?

It doesn't look bad now from that picture but if you did lower it I'm sure it would look sick!

Depends... Do you drive over several speed bumps daily? If you don't think you'll have any trouble with scraping then go ahead. Would look a lot better imo.

well its my daily driver...

I wouldn't want to slam it.

How-ever a subtal drop I guess wouldn't be to bad, but then I also have to buy shocks LCA's and PHB to be safe...

To be safe for what?

Believe me, once you lower it and see the difference, you'll question yourself of why you didn't do it before. I see stock exhaust under there so you're defintley a perfect canidate for lowering it. I run Eibach Pro Kit and for a while (about a year) with stock shocks. Had no problems and I have LT's and 3" ORY.

I think lowering makes all the difference. I am at stock height and see other fbodys that are lowered and it just changes the whole look of the car. But as for the stock shocks, I have read a lot that says the ride will be bad and the geometry will be off. I am personally kinda scared to stick just lowering springs on without doing the LCAs, etc. Anyway...Lower that bad boy.
