So, there are no shocks in your car? It sure looks like it.
The car looks great! Don't listen to these old timers..lower it a good 2" more 
If you do H&R springs with #1 pads, I think you will get the look you're going for. what size tires are you running? I will soon have 19 * 9.5s up front, so it's good to see others going above and beyond the usual 8.5...

One more question: what offset are you running all the way around?

OC the wheels i am running are the Lorinser RSK5's. They have been discontinued and are very hard to come by and parts are damn near impossible to find. The Offset all around is ET44. I am running a 7mm spacer in front and a 15mm spacer in the rear. I am having a 20mm lorinser (style)hubcentric spacer made for the rear just to kick it out a bit more.
Andrew - I tried to fit a 265x35x18 in the rear and it was hitting EVERYTHING. So I opted to play it safe and went with the narrower tire.
One last thing OC, your car is ****ing sick. How is the ride with bags?

I am running falken 452s 245x35x18 rear and 225x40x18 front.
I actually just came across another INCREDIBLY rare set of lorinsers. Loriner RSK2. I will have to get the pics up. I only have 3 of them but they are for sale. Got them from a friend. (1) 18x10 and (2) 18x8.5 et18. Will sell them cheap.
