Deciding if i should lower the car 1.3in or not? 

Afraid it would be to low. Trying to keep the clean look. Anyone have pics of the car with 13in wheels and lowered would be great.

What springs are you using?

Stock springs cut by one coil.

You're not low enough until your headers scrape the pebbles on the ground! In all seriousness though, a little lower isn't a bad thing. A lot, well that just turns into a pain.

Any comment on vortland lowered spring and stagg or kyb shock set up?

[TobyB]

Do use the search.

Its your car...do u like lowered 02's or stock height 02's?  For me it was lower....and a lot.  But thats my preference.  Here are pics of a lowered 02 on 13's.  I think this looks perfect...again..my opinion.

Check out the Stance thread. All the pictures you could ever want. As for me, I put on H&R sport springs which lower the car about 1.25"s. I Like the look.

Have Eibachs (1" drop front and back) and Billies sport. Not too harsh a ride and sticks well to the twisties on 13" BBS.

+ 1 for the H&Rs....they lowered my '73 so it's about the same height (or a bit lower) than my '69 with stock springs.  BMW fitted 1" taller springs on the '73-76 cars (in addition to the front spacers) to meet revised Federal bumper heights introduced for the 1973 model year.  I never had any problems with ground clearance on the '69, and don't with the 73 either.
