you have some seriously expensive shocks.

your spring rates are quite weird however. Have you looked into the motion ratio of the rear suspension? I think a 16k front spring and an 18k rear spring would be more apt.

I have to ask...what do you do with the car with that high of a spring rate?

I bought them before I knew what the car would be used for. Right now I only daily drive it and it has never seen the track. The pad lock is the closest its been to one, ha. I would love to take it out one day, but my work schedule is pretty busy.

I have read about quite a few members that put the stiffer springs in the back to get the car to rotate better. I'm sure if I ever got into any kind of racing with it, I would look at choosing different spring rates.

It has to do with the motion ratio of the rear suspension eating up your spring rate

Would it be possible to get pictures of the shaved fenders? I'd be very interested in seeing what they look like without the wheels there.

Have the fenders become more flimsy without the lip?

Well my cut job wasnt as pro as I would like. Need to get it into my friends shop so he can clean it up a little and touch up with some paint so it doesnt rust. Might have him flair it a little to get a bigger tire on as well while its there.

No I dont believe they have. Seems just as strong to me.

bryant. Your Takata Greens are still on my screen saver at work

Your new set-up is just prime for a Voltex Wide Body. Ive given it some thought & would go for it given certain conditions arise

Peace

Ha ha thanks MinusPrevious. Green wheels are currently For Sale.

Rear fenders are cut flush with the fender. Fronts are stock.
