Re: Shocks?
I don't think you need drop shocks in the front..I have regular Monroe's and they work fine.

The wheels are bigger than factory in the pic but would that be a 4/6 or 5/7?

Re: Shocks?
I am running Rancho R9000 adjustable shocks on my front, with a 3" drop spindle and anther 1/2" drop with the front springs changed out. They have been on ther efor a long time without issue. I have upgraded my rear shocks to the Bell Tech Street Performance shocks.
I just purchased and installed a set of Bilstein shocks on my daily driver and they made a serious difference on it. It is lowered 5/7.
