I think it looks fine lowered and certainly it handles better lowered.... but the Mrs. likes it up with the aggressive look.
Sounds like Chris is the party person in your home.

man, I must have it backwards. I figured the nose high pic was because the engine had been pulled out. that's what I thought you meant by "castrated". I vote for the lowered version as well.

Looks better lowered.

And away we went.
I think it's the bees knees.

I also think it's the cats pajamas.

I guess I agree with the Mrs. My Chevelle sagged low in the front. I told the guys that I wanted a mean aggressive look.

But your car is sweet.

My Chevelle sagged so low that the collector would scrape when we pulled into a steep driveway. We would avoid going to certain places cause the Chevelle made aweful scraping noises as we pulled in.

Hope you get the stance that you want.

Me thinks Mike would talk himself out of a sale. Of course on the other hand,the customer would be so beat up they would just say "where do I sign?":D
