This is a street/strip application. For you guys with coilovers and drag struts, where did you set you ride height? And how did you arrive at the final ride height. I just figure I will play around with it for a week or two before I get my alignment. The front wheels look straight and the car goes straight and stops straight. I know it has to be off, but it drives good so I have some time to decide where it will sit.

I have been driving it as a low rider for 3 1/2 yrs. I think the stock suspension was just worn out. I am sick of it. I am looking to get a better launch out of it at the track, and better ride quality for daily driving. I have about 2" of fender gap now, I had none. Tires are stock height, 245/50/16 all the way around. Thanks for the advice, but I really dont care about looks very much. It looks good low, but rides like a 2-ton truck.
