Looks good. I like the side molding. You might need to get your rear fenders rolled with that wide of a rim in the back. I had the same rims and tires size you have. When I lowered, the rears rubbed everytime I hit a bump. I now have the same tires but on an 8" rim.

The fronts were fine. I didn't have to roll the fronts. I used G8 H&R springs. I really couldn't tell you the exact amount of drop because the G8 was already lower than the Caprice. You can see my car in the wheels and tires section of the forum. It's the one with the Replicast Super Sports.

I REALLY like what you guys have done! It's amazing what a few subtle changes/add-on's will do for the look. Some of those changes took a lot of time, and it was worth it!
