Why is that you finally listen to me after I leave the house? Post pictures of the back after you lower it!

I much prefer 1 which is close to the factory stance. The car looks out of balance in 2,..like it has leaf spring shackles or air shocks.

Looks ok to me....
I took just half coil off front off my 78....but I prefer a slight rake....
Can't lower front on 69 502 due to 6qt oil pan.(only 4" clear)..so run 245's front,255's rear...

Looking good. I kind of like the lowered look. Just not too lowered. I don't need to be in da weeds.

That's looking pretty good! I always drool over black Corvettes anyway but I like the stance now.

If you have a stupid steep driveway like mine lowering is not much of an option. Slightly favor 1.

#1 is too high, #2 a little too low, IMHO. How did you lower it? I need to lower mine, but cutting the spring makes it (the spring) stiffer which I want to avoid.
