    btw, Beautiful color.
     
  13. I vote 2" for the front. It's a lot easier to take more coil off than to put it back on.

    Man just throw in the $65 aerostar springs and see how it looks, that should give you about 2" and more after they settle.

    it doesn't look like a tail dragger it looks like your rear suspension is broken

    Paint is beautiful, the car looks fantastic.

    I am a fan of s****ing my frame everywhere I go, so I would say you wouldnt want to hear my opinion. I get terrible nose bleeds if a car is 2.5" or more off of the road.

    Agree with all others on the color. Ageless.
