with a big hammer looks like the guy how did the inner fender sometime ago, moved it out a bit. but it all fits in there, no rub. I did end up rolling all four fender lips.

stance isn't perfect, but will have to do b/c we move to a house (from townhouse) in 2 weeks. hood just needs to be adjusted. way out of wack from taking off hood hinges to paint them (should have drilled small guide holes...doh).

my picture ability isn't the great.

a 255 should fit without modifying the inner well.Rolling the lips is always necessary.I have 275's and BARELY "massaged" the inner well.

Whats the BS on the rears?

What size is the front tire?

4.75 bs on the rears, 4 bs on the front with 225/45. On the rear passanger, the front lower corner touched with I first put them on. The drivers side had minimal clearance from the begining. I'm thinking there might have been some sloppy metal repairs done prior to my ownership.

How much did you cut off your front coil to get your drop? Also, what kind of camber * are you running in the front?

I set up the alignment to be -.5* camber on both sides and +2.25* caster. Seems to drive pretty good.

Oh. What size tires where you running when your car was blue in the pic with the airplane (thats my screensaver right now).

I have 1 coil cut and 215/40's, which rides great, but its too low for the turbo.Im thinking of going to your front tire size with a "stock" 1" drop spring, that looks good.I think my alignment is about like yours with no more then 1* negative camber

the rear was a 245/4517 and a 205/45/17 i remember

great thanks. I want to drop the front a little more. Pass side seems to be 3/8-1/2 higher even tho the springs are the same length.

is there anywhere you have a bunch of pics of your car?
