^^^^ yeah i am skipping the raised rear.
I am gonna chop the front coils once all mech work is done and drop front at most an inch.
I am not a fan of a car so low i cant cross railroad tracks....if i had money to waste on a show car that would be diff. I do like the raked look though.

thanks for the compliments guys...i appreciate it.
yeah, on cutting the coils i only wanna do enough for a little raked look.
my brothers stang is lowered (too much for me) and i think it rides terrible. it just is not practical to lower a car to the point where you cant drive it daily without having to slow for every bump and dip.
