I have almost the exact same setup but mine isnt even close to sitting that good and the only difference is that I have 5 leaf mid-eyes in the rear.

I can only hope my stance is like yours

I have the same setup as you too, shelby drop, 1 inch lowering coils in front, and standard ride height 4 1/2 leafs in the back, I kinda figured I would have to use lowering blocks on the back of mine, but if it worked for you it might work for me too.

supposedly, the gt comp springs are 1 to 1 1/2 inch lower than stock... i wasnt sure how it was going to sit, and was going to use blocks if needed, but didnt have to...

Sounds like I may need the blocks after all

Oh well, more money for the car, the wife already hates it anyway. LOL

I noticed you don't have the chrome windshield trim on. Are you leaving it like that or will you put it on later? I don't have any on mine as of now although I just bought some, but I like it without. Also do you have any pictures of the front wheels with the blue calipers behind them?? I'm thinking of painting my calipers but not sure if blue on blue would look good. Thanks
