Ok peoples I finally have all 4 of my wheels and tires mounted. SInce last week i lowerd the front. At first I thought it may have been a tick to much but I am loving it now. I took the Eibach's out as I thougt they were softer than my F41 springs. So I took a coil and a half out of the F41 springs and got the tire up into the wheel well. Now I also put in new Energy Suspension bushngs, New endlinks with ploy bushings, all new ball joints, plus new shocks. Today I got alignmentdone today when I got the last 2 tires mounted. Now I had planned on mounting my coilovers on the rear as my wife made me the brackets. That was until I noticed the coilover bodies are too long for where I wanted to put them So I guess I can't use the Nice aluminum body Afco's that I have. I will have to by regular shorter ones. It sucks to have something you can't use. I think the rear needs to come down atleast an inch more. Anyway here are the pics. I still need to clean them better and polish the lip.

Here is about how low I want the rear with a little help from a friend. Maybe i tick more.

 

Care to give specifics on the wheels like maker and model?

BTW looks great, nice stance and good job getting it there.

 

Sharp.

 

i like it. is that hot rod black?

 

The wheels are 18X9 Boss 304's. The tires are 275/40-18's BFG G-Force Sports. I bought them from TireRack for $139 for the first 2. Had to make sure they would fit all around before taking the plunge and ordering the other 2. Then they raised the price to $159 but even at that they were on sale from $189. These tires are right below BFG KDW2's but at like half the price. That and TireRack had them at my door the next day both times I ordered them.

 

Cool look how does it handle and ride?

 

Wow, Looks good

 

The ride is firmer in the front, but not bad. I am quite surprised. The problem is the rear is too soft in comparrision. The front end is much more planted. But now the rear moves arond more on heavy cornering. The rear is doing all the leaning. I am looking at getting Metco billet aluminum rear lower control arms that have holes that allow the use of a sedan rear swaybar which I already have. Which will do until I can afford the bars I really want.

 

Pontiac just put a square tube inside the control arm in the 60-s' to mount the bar ...
