Thank you for the encouragement... Guess I never pictured myself owning a purple hotrod. Incase your wondering its 2000 Ford Windstar purple... Sexy eh?

looks more like a wine red to me. its not barney purple so im fine with it.

That's a beautiful body style and the color complements it very well.

I like that color description! I always hated trying to tell someone I had a purple car, I'm going to start telling them is wine red!

Thanks! The wheels really set the car off, I'm quite happy with them. The fronts did rub a little at first but I think I have it figured out. There certainly isn't alot of room between the tire and fender but so far so good!

I also feel your LS dilemma... I'm in the same boat. First world problems at its finest.

Your Cutlass looks great! I am a fan of the SC&C suspension parts and wheel/tire setup.

Ok...I have a couple of questions as I too am a recent classicoldsmobile convert lol! And would have an account at ROP if they ever approved it...I figure after some 5 years they aren't going to.

Anyway,

What spindles did you use? <--- Disregard, I clicked the link in your OP and say they are SC&C. Nice stuff!

I am waiting on 18" Weld RTS wheels and will convert the Moroso trick springs / CE drag shocks over to a stiffer spring (Hoping to use BMR springs / sway bars) but will need to adjust the ride height. I do want to change all of the steering components at the same time because like you, it's getting a little hairy driving on the street now. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated!

P.S. I'll post up a pic or two of the car once the wheels are here...I'm too embarrassed by what's on it currently lol!
