I agree that the Fbody looks better when lowered 1 1/2, but sometimes it's not pratical to lower the car like that. For instance, I have true duals and my mufflers are rather large. I didn't put on a cheesy "bullet" style muffler so they hang down a bit. Losing that 1 1/2 of clearance would make it impossible to clear simple speed bumps. Not to mention my 315s rubbing inside the wheel wells.

Yep and it cost more to get them full polished. If you keep your eye out you can find them for pretty good deals on here if you don't mind them having a few flaws or doing alittle polishing when you get them. I've got more than $2000, but less than $2500 in these with brand new Sumitomo's all the way around.
