i don't have any front springs yet. it looks terrible rite now with just the back lowered. i may put the stock ones back in 2marrow until i get some front ones because i wont drive it like that. lol i didn't realize that it would lower it that much.

Screw it....leave it like that until you get the fronts. Looks like you are always launching the car even when it's standing still.

Hello
It looks like it will have a great stance when you get the fronts in. But I just also wanted to suggest this to you as well seeing how you are lowering the vehicle. When you lower a F body it shifts the rear end and in order to readjust the rear back to the OEM location I would also suggest looking into a pan hard bar as well before you have any clearance issues. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thanks
Brad
