Finally lowered the goat....
...H&R Springs and Koni Adjustables (didn't measure before, but it's advertised as a 1.4" front and 1.2" rear....also have a 10mm spacer in the rear). These Koni's are a lot of fun to mess around with. I still can't believe I waited this long to do it. What's funny is the GTO guys are going to think it's SUPER LOW, yet it's still the highest car i've owned 
The ride is great, with the koni's at soft the ride is as smooth as stock but the handling is 100% improved....stiffen up the shocks and it's a blast. I've only spent an hour in the car (had a busy weekend with some storage moving)...but will start tweaking it to find out the differences.
However, full firmness on the rear causes A LOT of oversteer
before for comparison
i've had some request for my monaro front since I painted the emblem, here it is..
and a surprise we recently finished....the car was FILTHY so I didn't take any "real" pics

It does sit well now, and I like the color on that car a lot. Definitely needs wheels, although I can't see the ones you are talking about. The pictures are too small and won't enlarge. Dark wheels will look good with that color though!

I still kinda regret not getting a C5 Z06....they were about the same price for a relatively low mileage Z06.
I'll see what I can do about the pics.......not sure what's wrong
