needs a little help shocks and springs

joe. we had the car aligned last year and they set the front to the stock height. so they say but we want it lower. what would you say the ride height should and how do you measure, and how long are the stock shackles.
From the looks of the last two pic's I'd say you need new springs or re-arch the ones you have if your budget minded! They shouldn't be flat like that. Once you do you won't need air shock's so invest in a good set when you can. Beautiful car by the way. Good luck with your project.
