Sorry for the poor quality. Got it off the gnttype site. My old car from many years ago. 15s. Bf goodrich, polished centerline autodrags. Cant remember the sizes. Car looks kinda low cause I was too cheap to get new shocks. This was my cheapest car with the least amount of cash in it. It was my only daily driver TB and prolly my favorite. The paint was a mistake. The guy who painted it ordered the wrong color. Got the most compliments on my cheapest car.....go figure.

6 is way too much. 4-4.5 usually.

I am admitting its my problem so don't get upset at me. I can only live with 4 rims on these cars. Everything else just looks weird. Now I also know not one of these will yield a very good 60ft., but then Im not a track guy.
1. stock and I mean stock tire, height, pure stock.
2. CCW black centers or polished 17-18's slightly lowered to have the right stance.
3. Simmons rims 17 or 18's like the Heath cars. Robs is mighty fine. If it isn't lowered to get the stance right it looks weird also.
4. Budnik Billet aluminum GN rims with stepped lip only in 17 or 18's also lowered slightly.

Budniks fine look and stance:

Couldn't agree more. I think the stepped wheel is key on these cars. A flat rim just doesn't fit them

I agree but I have to add the Weld RTS with black anodized center. If you haven't seen em, you should.

Mario, Is that the stock ride height?

 

[mario65]

No they are lowered with eibach springs. Contemplating cutting the front springs for another inch. Back is perfect. Just too tired of spring swapping. It doesnt rub with 3 men in the car. I do have a nice pinion snubber that helps.

 

[Ken Wolkens]

Silly question but are the springs a 1" or 2" drop? I'm trying to figure out what to do with mine.

 

[mario65]

They were these:
Eibach Springs 3803.140 Pro-Kit Performance Lowering Springs Incl. Front/Rear

Its says 1" drop.

 

[Ken Wolkens]

Thank you.

 

[GNICETRY]

Contemplating cutting the front springs for another inch.

I think that would be a great idea. Front looks a little high, the picture angle doesn't help either. Really like the Kenne Bell air dams. You have an extra passenger side one?
