For those of you that have done the Hotchkis TVS kit on your first gen, by chance do you have before and after pictures of the stance???

My subframe is FINALLY sandblasted and is sitting at the powdercoater shop waiting for chassis black. I originally was going to do my camaro all original, but I figured I may as well save money by not doing the suspension once to look stock and then again to get some extra performance.

I however do not like the look of car's that have been dropped to the pavement. So if anyone has a couple of before and after picks of a small block camaro's ride height with the TVS kit installed, please post or email me.

Can I still use stock rims and tires after the TVS kit? I also want to use my original control arms and spindles....

Recomendations welcome
Thanks!

I found this:
http://anti-rice.com/me/camaro/album/pages/DSC01192.html
its of maxharvard (http://www.camaros.net/forums/member.php?u=16176)'s car 2" drop in front with stock rear.

I do like the rear a little highier on a 1st gen...
and I most likely won't do the rear sway bar....
can get it all from Rick's for 700
