Well, I installed the springs i bought today. I can live with it, but it looks way too low. I didn't change the a-arms yet to fit the front cobras, but I am going to do that tommorow. Also afraid that with the cobra fronts, hitting a bump while turning could cause some issues. Let me know what you guys think.

What are you going for? The front looks too low, but I think its because of the tires maybe? Are the tires in the front bigger than the rear?
The rear doesnt look too bad as far as stance, but the wheel well looks a little empty. Like it needs a bigger tire. Just an opinion. But I think mine looks a little empty in the rear wheel wells too with the stock setup. Like it needs a bigger wheel/tire combo to make it look right. Like I said just an opinion.

I agree with TC420, good stance but need a meatier tire in the wheel well.

im worried about if those springs have a big anough rate to handle a chicken, means it will squat too much on turns or over bumps and weight transfer. have to get some stiff shocks to make up for it

maybe a picture of the entire cars side, with the tires and rims you plan to use. its alittle tuff to make out the level of the floor and the height and stuff.

Ok, thanks. I am going to fit the front tires today, i hope. The rears are 275/40-17, fronts will be 245/45-17. If it gets done today, I'll take some pics outside.

What is the offset of the Cobra wheels you have the back? The tire size for the front shouldn't be a problem, but the offset could be. Our cars have long wheel well openings and it makes it difficult to fill with tires. What I think looks good is to leave the back stock and use a taller tire, drop the front by 1-1.5" and it gives it a muscle car look. I would have done this to mine but my springs were not even.
