New pic of car after being lowered 2"

This is probably of the only non IROC, Z-28, RS cars you've seen lowered and with IROC wheels, lol. Tell me what you think. Thanks.

It looks like the front is sitting higher than the back. Otherwise, I guess it looks good.

There was a blue Sport Coupe with gray rockers that I used to drive by at school every day. It had the 16" IROC wheels, but was otherwise stock looking. I always liked how it looked.

I see that too. A spring spacer from a Mustang will straighten it out. There was an article in PHR about getting the stance nailed!

Car looks sweet, do you bottom out at all?

My car sits kinda low in the rear. I need to keep her from bottoming out.

Haven't been able to drive it on the street yet because my sub frame connectors are only welded half way on (damn welder ran out of gas ). But my cat is only like 4 or 5 inches off the ground so it will be interesting.

Thats one nice looking SC. The only thing I would do is put a front GFX piece on it. But I like the stance the 2in drop gives.

Not sure of the height, but I know the ground effects do not make it any lower. If you look they wrap around the bottom and end at the lowest point on the actual body. They are just out more than the body so it looks like the car is lower.
