Nice. So do you have lowering springs up front? I'd personally leave it as it is. The stance looks pretty even. Lowering the rear would probably create a reverse rake.

Awesome looking car, and welcome to the 505 club. What's the rear tire size? It looks a touch too short.

The shocks up front and back are Konis but the rear springs are stockers and the front are from LG

I loved my 505a's when I had them. One of the best looking wheels on F-Body's, period.
