Welcome Collin! My only advice is that you wait with any mods for a few months. Spend that time getting the car into shape mechanically. You're going to have things break and need repair. Once you have the car running reliably, you can mod slowly from there.

Photo #1 looks like it would seriously wear out some tires and kind of lack drivability. At the end of the day you need to be able to drive the car without dragging the oil pan on the ground behind you..

I like the stock ride height of my 3g, although the roads around here wouldn't really allow for any lower anyway.. Maybe some upgrades you could try for handling could include rear sway bar, strut bar up front, new 15" tires, new struts and springs, poly sway bar bushings and links as well as control arm bushings.

Here's my car last summer:

Yes, there is many parts and advice in the suspension section of the thread, even the part numbers for the sway bars gyates93 mentioned. (I want some too lol)

I spent about 3 years getting my 3Gee running like a top before I started hacking and slashing my car apart. These cars are starting to show their age (unless you get lucky) but most things are easily fixed.

get her mechanically sound and then get her to look the way you want.... im honestly not in to the whole hellaflush thing. to played out honestly but your car build it how you see it in your dreams! . but just please make sure she is safe and sound before any mods! theses cars are over 25 years old now. your going to need to go over all the ball joints and tie rods and bushings before lowering it. (when ball joints and tie rods break you lose steering and wheels. which is never fun!. lowering puts more stress on theses aged components) . once you have the suspension and brakes up to par then make sure the engine and everything is up to par! again 25+ year old cars all need some loven when ya first get them. but theses common problems can be found on newer cars as well! my old 95 civic needed the entire suspension rebuilt. 97 civic needed new tie rod ends, same with both 95 accords i owned!
