Springs and 17" wheels

I went with the Bullitt springs on my '88. I too have the tri-bars you speak of. I also have Factory Five upper and lower rear arms. I would do the springs at the same time (you're already there). Depending on what your ultimate plans for the car is...will depend on which springs to use. Look into spring rates, # of coils, free length of spring...etc...

The more research you do the better off you'll be in the end. I've seen posts by guys that put brand "x" spring on, then a few weeks later switched them out with something else..only to switch them again...what a waste of time. It took me 6 month's to finally decide on what spring to use, I don't plan on changing them while I own the car.

Good Luck..Jim

with 17x9's you could run into problems with the wheel touching the inner fender on a stock rear end. if you run disc's on the back and it makes the axle longer, you prolly could run them.

i put on longer studs and put a spacer on the drum and run cobra r's no problem.

good luck

You shouldn't have any problems. Might as well get it out of the way while you are there and can afford it!
