    Drop that Mav. For safety, if not any other reason. Raised back ends put a lot of pressure on the frontend components and during braking, nearly all of the weight is "jacked" onto only the front tires instead of using all four. Plus the handling is suffering because of an increase in the center of gravity in the rear, ie. the rear will want to come around in extreme maneuvers. ++++ it looks cool.:cool:

    Todd if you want to lower it just let me know, I'll swap you your new springs for my 30 yr old ones :D That'll have you lowered in no time. :) I like the way it sits now but after driving mine to OH with 4 tires the same size, I might not got back to the big and littles on the 2 door. But like everyone says, it's YOUR car... Russ
