I have the five leaf reverse eye and the rear stance is right and the car handles pretty well with the 620's up front, sway bars, TCP uppers (shelby drop) and rack & pinion steering. The ride is pretty stiff in the rear but for a weekender not overly harsh.

The front of my car still needs to come down about an inch, the 620's have already been trimmed. Tires are 245/50/16's and when the body / paint work was done the inner fender lips were completely trimmed and removed. Otherwise they would rub slightly. 26X10.5X15 ET Streets tuck perfectly as do 26X9.0X15 Hoosier racing slicks.

These are the best pics I have, good luck

WOW NICE LOOKING CAR MAN.... I LOVE THE PAINT JOB..

Well I kinda like the rear to be higher then the front Beacuse the 67's have a longer front end and I dont want to be seeing my hood the hole time....

Thanks For the pictures

I really like my Maier 165 rears leafs. Installed with the HD Shackles and Poly Bushings.

I had crazy wheel hop not anymore. I also put in a tracloc which helped. Anything would be better than 40-YO leafs and airshocks though.

I am using KYB's for shocks on all 4 corners

Correction, I run 16" RT Streets on the rims that are in the pics, those are my BFG's in the pictures. Just wanted to clarify.
