In fact that might be cool for a dedicated autocross car. Lots more room for hauling the rims, tires and tools to the event.
I have always liket that car & 1/2 ass considered doing something like it myself.

^i havent heard about that brand, but as for the eibachs, they get a rediculous amount of negative feedback Quaility wise, even though they look good. i've never heard anything negative about BMR or Strano, and they both offer a 1.2-1.25" drop all the way around, and from what i hear, neither will have any bad effect on your ride quality. still havent made up my mind on which, but i'll be getting one or the other pretty soon.

I think the hatch part of the hurst hauler just needs to be more round in the back, or something. The angles just don't flow with the rest of the car. Looks like a truck cap.

I dont think i could ever put sportback hatch on my trans am, its the ugliest thing i have ever seen! on the other hand i think the Hurst Hauler is pretty sweet, ever been to a car show and bought cheep tires or other shirt and didnt have room in your f-body?

There is a lot of dark, evil, ugliness in this thread, but that "Mecham" spoiler on the first page takes the cake. The evil, ugly cake.

You can buy those Hurst tops, I can't remember where from though.

Diggin deep. But seriously? This might actually be cool. I DD my car, I love driving it. Toss some air bags inside the coils in the back, you could haul an actually decent amount of shit.
