Opinions, pictures, etc. I would rather not lower it, but if its a must then I will I guess. Also, are there any camber pronlems?

19" and stock sprinds would look "lifted". 18" is the largest I would go on stock springs.

That doesn't look stock. I figured there would be more of a gap in the front.
