Talking Lowered Front Stock Rear Height?

Does anyone have their car setup like this? If u do please post a picture I'm considering going back to the stock rear spring for a stance change.

I did it for a while due to clearance issue with my y-pipe.




Stock rear springs with Hotchkis front. I did it as a not-very-elegant solution until I could get my y-pipe adjusted. I'm sort of ambivalent about the look.

Thankz chuprokabra I wish it wasn't in the driveway itz sloped but It does give me an idea,thankz again. Itz really about traction 4 me I have a new rear end installed and it was powdercoated and because the rear end has been lowered the thrust angle for the LCA's is off. They make weld on brackets that correct the angle but then I have to mess up my powder coat. Damn!

I put a Moser 9" in and the stance is perfect now no need to change anything. I guess the larger diameter axle tube helped to bring the rear end up a little. Will post new pics soon.

That paint job actually looks like it's pretty sweet. Reminds me of a Trans Am with the fighter jet paint job that I saw a picture of.
