Looks great! Now.... Are you thinking about lowering it any?
Thinking about bringing it down 3 & 4 inches
What is a good way to go? If you go 3" drop coils and 4" shackles & hangers do you need to modify or change anything else? Like shocks or pinion angle blah...blah...??
Or would drop spindles be a better route to go?

Looks great.

BTW, I run 4" backspacing for stock 8" wide tires, you can get away with less on the rear if you want to move the tire out to match the front.  The impala SS wheels I have use 5.25" backspacing.
