The rear sits a little high. Anyone know where to get any 3" lowering springs. 1.3" Eibach springs are whats in there now.

Looking good. I have had mine a year now still in garage waiting to see pavement. Glad to see people looking outside the box on a 7 spoke wheel finally!

Looking good, Vince! I know you were agonizing over your decision but they look killer on there so hopefully, that calmed your second guessing.

Don't buy springs, just cut a little bit off your Eibachs with a cut-off wheel or a chop saw. When cutting performance springs, keep in mind that 1" of spring height when measured sitting on the bench unloaded usually equals a 2" drop and don't count on much settling. You already have a high quality set of springs, just trim them a little.

Thanks Jay, unfortunately the rear springs are pigtailed on both ends, so I wont be able to cut them. I swapped them out yesterday w/ some worn out stock springs, and the stockies actually sit 1 inch higher. Once I find a solution for the rear, the stance will be perfect.

Those spring are for newer models I believe.

Your car is lookin great, nice choice. I have been completely satisfied with my Rushforths also.

run the speedway adjusters and the shorter springs. that was what i had before i went insane and basically backhalved my finished frame and suspension.

just remember that stance is EVERYTHING. it looks great now, but it would be insane about 2" lower.

the wheels are friggin sick!!!!!

Wow. that looks awesome. Ill look into these. Do you have any issues with the 3 inch drop? Why do you wish you went for 2"

Thank you, no issues, you just have to have the right backspacing and look underneath the wheel opening to make sure the with the drop you wont rub anywhere
I shoulda gotten 2" because the rear sits a little lower than the front, I like the stance even or the front lower then the back thats all.

[Ralph LoGrasso]

The wheels look great!

[70chevelle406]

19/20 combo. I cant really give a review yet as I only have about 4 miles on them. Just up and down the street to make sure there were no rubbing issues.
