800 to lower??? Only cost me 225 for springs but then bilsteins help also. I was thinkin ZO6 brakes and lowering but I guess lowering would cost 800 cause once you get into it you usually buy more like a panhard bar, relocation brackets, steering linkage, lca's, might as well throw in a wonderbar while your at it.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. And yes, the window sticker will go as soon as I put on 5% tint. As far as lowering goes, it's definately in the works. I just need to decide which springs I should get... It should cost me under $300 if I do it myself and probably about $500 if I have a shop around here do it for me.

Oh, here's a little bit more info on my setup:

They are 17in. American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels. The rear wheels are 17x9.5 with chrome centers and polished wells. They have a backspacing of 5.5in. and an offset of 6mm. The tires are Fuzion ZRI 275/40/17. The front wheels are 17x8 with chrome centers and polished wells. They have a backspacing of 4.5in. and a 0mm offset. The tires are Fuzion ZRI 245/45/17. Everything fit like a glove.

Lookn good. I can see over $800 if you're gonna get new struts/shocks too. I recommend looking for the ebay NIB overstock deals, you can save a few hundred there.

needforspeed, i actually dont have an AMC. that avatar has been on there since day 1 because it was all i had. i just never cared to change it. i really enjoy amcs though. my best friend is really big in to amcs and i have actually helped him restore his 72 javelin. he has 3 javelins and a jeep j10 for a daily driver. i go to all the big shows and have been involved with all of the big amc people on the east coast. but i know it seems stupid but i dont personally have one to answer your question. sorry to get off topic.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

where did you get those. i have been looking at different places to get 17s but havent been impresses so far. i want bf goodrich tires on mine but they dont have a big selection for 17s.


I was originally going to purchase the wheels from hotrodsusa.com, but Summit Racing offered to match the price so I went with them. The Fuzion ZRI's are from tirerack.com.

On a seperate note, I'm going to undertake my exaust install (hokker 2055's, aerochamber muffler etc.) on friday. I should have pictures by sometime next week.

I keep hearing good things about the sound of the aero chamber. My car's way to quiet right now. I can't wait to get it on.

Not sure. They had a deal going when I got mine - free shipping. Summit Racing matched that as well.

The free shipping alot of times is american racing doing that. When i bought my wheels i got them from a tire shop in missouri they had a agreement with american racing for free shipping also american racing threw in a install kit also for free. The place i had bought them from just had american racing directly ship them to me and i got it all for free other than the wheels themselves. The place also gave me a hell of a deal. I got 17X7 and 17X8's shipped to my door with chrome lug nuts and chrome valve stems all total was $758. I talked to discount tire and they wanted over $200 each on the wheels i think they wanted around $230. And if u check with discount tire or anyone else they want around $40 for the install kit.
