Lowering vs Ground Fx Opinion

Few pics of my car, can't see the 98+ SS spoiler, or the fact that I took the paint off the fog lights (bad idea)

What do you all think would look better: ground effects with no lowering--my car would rub like crazy around here with lowering, or lowering the car and maybe adding the SLP quad exhaust setup? I really like the kit myself. Thinking about doing one of the two, or selling the car for an LS1, but I would bet that I will be keeping it. Thanks for any input.

I think you should go for the drop first. My old 94Z had an RK Sport GFX kit and stock height when I bought it. On my current car, I got the drop with out the GFX kit on yet (took it off the old car) and I think it looks way better with the drop.

i'd say go with both. You can have the best of both worlds!
but first things first, i'd lower it. It'll make the car look A LOT better and its very cheap and easy to do, as compared as having to get the gfx painted and the downtime etc..

nice looking car though!

chuckys95, awesome ride. I am mostly concerned about rubbing around where I live. I rub the plastic piece up under the car at times the way it is. I was leaning toward lowering b/c it is cheaper, and b/c i think I would not bottom out as much, at least I hope.
