I've got SA strange shocks w/ 300# springs, and the front end sits SUPER low i actually need to adjust them back up. My car looks ridiculously raked right now. I run koni 4/3 rears w/ stock springs on a 28" tall rear tire. I could snap pictures tonight if you want to see

Mike, whats your car set at for the fronts especially? FRom the floor to the center of the fender, like 26" or what? Why did you choose that ride height, performance or cool factor?

i dont have a good profile view yet, but this shuold give you an idea on how low the front end sits.. the front 'air dam' sits about 2" off the ground. I scrape on every little dip on the road. it needs to come up for the street.

They are actually Eibach Sportlines, that is just the box the guy originally gave me. It was level but the Moser 9" raised it up a little bit and I'm sure the 28s added to it.
