Just about!  Mine is almost as low but I'm gonna have to put standard springs back on the rear.  Just too many speed humps around here now - I dont think there's much left of my exhaust.  |

Mine was like that too - now running -35 pi's on the front and standard senator's on the rear, and it's almost right....  It was scraping the exhaust on mine like hell too - went for the yearly inspection at powerflow today and there's a flat spot on the bit below the diff where it's scraped whist booing it down some country lanes a while back.....  |

Don't bother anyway mate - you've got a replica yes....... Well LC's are jacked at the back anyway - they found out that it rode better like that so they changed it and fitted the auto levelling air suspension Maybe lower the front but keep the back jacked - it'd look like a real LC then.  |
