Have you ate out the inner fender liner yet? I raised mine back up a inch when I put the 11.25" brakes and new poly on. Mine got the edge of the top fender opening as well as the inner liner. While repainting I noticed it and had to replace the drivers side fender.

I think going over a bump would not be a happy thing if you had a "wraparound" setup like that

lowered 2" at the front and almost 2" at the rear. I think I will cut another 1/2 coil on the rear lowering springs to get it right...but I hope to build some coilovers for the rear sometime.

I melted the inner liners on the front pretty good... but now that they're all melted away the rubbing has stopped.... oh... also tore out the complete passenger side front wheel well hitting a pot hole last summer... and the rear cv joints are going cause the rear is dropped so much and the joints are on such an extreme angle (to be fair thouhg they're 120,000 mile originals)... AND on expteme bumps the passenger side axle nips the frame... i ground a bit out for clearence but there's a brake line right there, so i will need to costom bend a new hard line to be able to grind more off the shasis and not worry about the axle pinching the line on extreme bumps...

THIS is the price you pay for being really low... but you can't beat the looks.

Although I'm sure mine isn't the lowest on the Forum, I did get an Award this year for the Lowest of over 400 Cars at the GM Tech Center Show. The Show only gave out 8 specialty awards, couldn't believe it when I saw some guy measuring my rocker ground clearance.
