Hey guys, here the car is fresh off the jack stands. There is before and after pictures of the car with the new stance. let me know what you think. And I think that the car will settle abit more once I drive it and it sets on the springs for abit. Sorry for the crappy quality pictures, its the middle of winter here and I couldnt drive it to somewhere else to get better pics.
Here is a few before:

looks like a drop that needs settling... on my hotchkis springs I noticed a slight difference right off the stands but I could tell a difference in settling just after a week or so.

only one reason i havnt said what kind of springs they are. Because of all the haters. haha. They are cut stock springs. Dopefedz helped me out on how much to cut because I loved the look of his car. I ended up cutting 1 coil off the rear and about 1 1/4 coil off the front. It will settle abit more though im pretty sure. Ill take more pics and measurements in a week. Right now the front was at 26 inches and the rear at 27. I will see what it is in a week or so.

there is honestly quite the difference in drop. The wheel well gap before was quite large compared to what it is not. Its not a 3 inch tucking wheels drop, but I didnt want that either. I bet I dropped it a good 1.5 inches so far, and it will settle im sure.

only reason I expect some settling is because the weight was off the springs for a good 2 weeks or so. Either way, it doesnt really matter. Its got a better stance now then it had before, and the wheel well gaps arent near as big as they were before.
