Looks good. What did you use to lower it? Did you cut down springs or did you shim the spring pan?
 
Shim on pan with offset trunion bushings.

Used to cut them in the old days, 9/8" shim.

Patrick, your BE is beautiful!!!!! The color is very nice. I hope my Midge looks thta good one day. The paint got stripped last week and its basically a shell at the car shop. he said he hopes to have it fixed and primered this week, althought everytime I have driven by it is still sitting under the bleedin' tarp!!!
 
What ever he said it will take months longer. Seems like body shop estimates are like used car salesmen and realtors. They will say just about anything to make the sale.
