    without the ground level to tell whether it's sitting straight it's hard to tell. But I like the look if it's even in the front and back

    Could you photo shop some Billet Specialties Street Lites on your car so I can see what they look like?

    Thanks,

    I had mine that low once but I drug my headers on EVERYTHING. I once even drug them over the head of a caterpillar that was slinking across the road. Car came to a complete and sudden stop on that one. I durn near went through the windshield :p

    I lowered mine until it was unbearable to drive, then got bigger front tires to make it bearable. I don't hit anything now.

    Wait, I do. I hit the license plate holder on U-haul trailers if I don't jack up the rear of my truck or the front of the trailer at least 6".

    Thanks! Mine's basically a light blue version of yours so this suffices. I was trying to determine if they go with the vintage of our cars or not. I think they look pretty good.

    Thanks,

    well im no expert on it. i'm pretty sure you can just cut a section of coil on the spring but i'd try making another thread about it and you'll get more info towards how much to cut out :)
