Here she is in all her glory.....
I finally got her back on the road after having her sit for two years. She is still sitting a little high because of the new GW suspension, but hopefully she will drop in about a month.
Enjoy.....

Nice car. Are those the HotWheels wheels? I was thinking about running a set of those too.

Nice GTO! Hopefully that suspension will settle a bit more like you said.

If it does not settle you got room for some twenty fos
JK man it looks good. Did you make sure all the weight was on the suspension before you tightened the control arm bolts. If not you need to loosen them and do so. The suspension is not going to settle but an inch at best. There is some reason its sitting so high.

I am very happy with them for what I paid.

I probably won't go with 20's, I am looking at 18's right now. I am amazed at how expensive some of these rims are. I would love to throw on some Forgeline's, Fiske's, or HRE's, but my wallet could not handle that. I am looking at either some Boss Motorsport rims, or the good old Torq-Thrust 2 wheels.

I was unaware that I needed to loosen the control arm bolts to allow the car to drop.......
Go figure.

Yea. It will drop a bunch. The best way to do it is on a 4 post drive on lift so the suspension is fully loaded. Originally Posted by 69*Goat

Cool ride, but I think you are going to have to re-work that suspension. You need a huge drop to get that thing where it needs to be. Keep us updated!!!

New springs are inbound from Global West.........
I should have them in my hands tomorrow. I pulled the first set of springs that Global West sent me last night, so I should have the new ones in in no time. I must say that Doug at Global has provided TOP NOTCH customer service...... My 15 x 7 Rally II's should be blasted tomorrow, I am going to repaint these and run these for a while, until I save enough to get the wheels and tires I "Really" want.........
