      Thanks. I had the same concern. I'm hoping they'll look even better with the proper stance. I only wish I had gotten a smaller lip on the fronts so the rears would look even more drastic.

      Side note. How much lower should I go?

      I'd say 1.5" in the front and 1" in the back would give it a bit of a rake and a nice stance. Maybe a little more than that.

      Looks good. I'd agree on lowering the front a tad more than the rear to get a rake on it.

      I'm running 5" on the front and 6" on the back. Fronts are 235/40/18 and rears are 295/35/18. My front is stock but I have a shortened 9 inch in the rear.

      Thinking about getting rid of the 4 inch cowl when I lower. What do you think?

      Agreed.

      Didn't think I'd like those wheels but they look good on your car.

      either put a smaller cowl, or paint that tall one black.
      Put you a black hockey stripe down the side of the car....
      If you do not like the idea of any stripes, then just go with a small cowl hood.
