Thanks EB92, At least someone appreciates the effort I put into lowering the lane. Let me tell you, not any easy task by yourself!

 I'm glad you like the look of the NA-NC's, but you're a bit off the mark with the AU1 grill comment. The LTD bonnet and grill are off the DC LTD (both box car series, i.e. EA-ED) and as far as the wheels go... each to their own I prefer the chrome as it sits well with the LTD grill and chrome moulds.

have a look on ebay if you're keen to pick one up. There are usually quite a few there for sale in varying condition. Prices range anywhere from $500 to $8,000.

What brand SL's did you put in? Mine are Kings SL's all round and the front Guard sit's pretty much level with the top of the tyre.

also king spring superlows... i have the codes floating around here somewhere... i had to ring king springs to get the codes as no where listed them. and falcon superlows make fairlanes go to ultralow heights. im thinking of cutting 1/2 to 1 coil off the front to even it out

Here is the kings' catalogue
http://www.kingsprings.com.au/kings_master_catalogue.pdf
I just rechecked my own springs and it turns out that I have Fairlane lows fitted to the rear (Part No. KFRL-18) and Falcon SL's in the front (Part No. KFFL-52SL). So if what you're saying is true, then I actually have the equivalent of Kings' Lows in rear and Ultra Low's in the Front. That being said I am still pretty happy with the overall ride height. The car looks pretty even except for the slightly larger gap between the wheel and guard in the rear. But that is how I like it
