Lowered the front with WCF lowering springs

Wcf claims 1.5 inch drop. That's about what it is. I did a video on it but these two screenshots kind of show the before and after.

Looks good! What rates are you running? Did you take it out? I imagine the alignment is off some now, unless you did that, but that probably wouldn’t stop me.
Where’s the video?

I ordered the 300 lb springs. Chris sells 300 and 400 lb ratings for the front.
I have yet to drive it. Its been raining. It def has more neg camber now. Not sure how much can be taken out to get it closer to stock

Is it possible to elongate the mounting holes on the UCA to get the ball joint out further?
What spring rate did you get for your fieroguru coilover?

You can elongate the holes in some part of the 88 upper control arm to help eliminate negative camber.
I think I went with 350 lb on the back from guru
Side profile before and after. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Looking good! What size is your wheel/tire setup?

Big difference. Get some matching wheels.
I like that house and yard. Yours?

Running stock 88 tires up front. Rears are 16x7 35 offset enkei with a 25ish in Hoosier Dr.
House is several away from mine. I parked there for the lighting as I wanted the sun behind me. Too many trees around my house as well as wrong angle for lighting

Awesome work! I wonder what was causing it to sit so high originally.

Yeah, that's weird. My '88 looks more like the after photo than the before photo, but as far as I can tell--and I've had them completely out--it has stock front springs.

The sticker on my springs said ARD
Not sure if anyone has the data on the springs and Thier code and what it means. Maybe my springs were swapped? Ard come on 88 formulas?
