Still have to get the new engine in there and drive it around a bit to make them settle in.



The front springs are DAM CLOSE to rubbing the tires, and i think that any seriuos bump would make them touch. Something tow orry about? The current tires are 205's, and i'm thinking the next ones will be 195's just for more insurance.

Nice car. I like that colour too.

Are you happy with the ride height now?



I'm (was)running 205's on mine and getting a fair bit of guard rub. Not an undrivable amount, but noticable. Might have been due to the sports steering wheel though.

I'm going to roll the front fenders.



I'm about 97.3% happy with the ride height. I'm going to drive it for 1k miles to see how much it settles, and then cut the rear springs accordingly (prolly only have to cut about 1/3 a coil off).



The only real rubbing i'm worried about is the springs. The lip i can roll, no prob.



But to say right off teh bat, i LOVE the new stance!!!



Now i just need an engine in it so i can drive it......
