Drop it a half and inch if the tire doesn't rub when you make a u-turn

Looks like 4x4

I like to see the tire tucked maybe 1/8" below the lip, but that's me. I think Falcons look nice with a little bit of rake to them.

To mow the lawn or not? JK! [Razz] I would lower it a bit, I think it would look more aggressive.

How many miles have to driven on that suspension? If it's all.new it might settle a little. But it looks really nice the way it sits now.

 - I loved the old stance. However. It was a 30 point turn for u turns. Would have to upgrade a lot of suspension to make it work lol it was also only about 3 " off cross member

Leave the trim off. 64 trim is ugly in my opinion. Probably could get decent money for it. Plus the cost of the clips would suck... There is so many..lol

Do you have any of the stainless for around the side windows front and rear? That would help set it off.

Why should you cut the grass when you have a beautiful car sitting on the lawn. I was too busy checking out the car..

Nice car man!!
