    I think muscle cars should have a little lift in the rear(rake) like the TA and AAR's back in the day. I think the factory had the normal cars low in the back end a little.

    Leave it high!! Lowered does look kind of cool, but the original stance is the best.

    I think it looks decent, I've been thinking about lowering the rear on my own car, but I'll hold off until I'm actually driving it.

    I also agree with the other guys, they need a little rake, but nothing that can't be changed by backing of the torsion bars a little, eh?
