you could lift it and sit on 31 and it shouldn't impact you much

oh btw, thats one of the nicest '95s (don't know my gens too well) but its very nice, like the updated headlights. +1 in my book, -10 to thinking about lowering it, leave it stock or lift it & add a locker.

Well if you lower it I hope you're gonna get rims for it. I would lower it if I were you. Second pic is really growing on me.

yeah i like the look of it. if i do lower it i could still drive it with the stock wheels until i get the money for rims without it looking too out of place compared to it being lifted on those. i think ill lower but i need to wait until it warms up a little.
