youve got mail jt, and one other thing i was wondering, how much do the hotckhis springs lower the car? anything more than 1.5 inches is prolly to much, due to the fact that i have a huge 3 inch exhaust running all the way back.

I lowered my car a full 2in in front and 1 7/8in out back with intrax springs. they are awsome! great handling too. they are only $199 through summitt. id recomend them 2 everyone 4 that agressive stance and outstanding performance!

about those adapters, if you dont already have the wheels you can buy them w/ the correct offset for third gens for $699 from hawks. i think thats a fair price. They look great with those fat lips. at least 2 in lip.

Hey I have a quick quesiton and I thought I would just shoot it out there. Im buying a spring kit for my 87 and I was thinking about going with sportlines... I just have the feeling that if i get the pro kit, in a month Ill be wishing it was alittle lower. Will I have any problems with my stock wheels/tires clearing everything? They are GTA 16in wheels. Let me know what the deal with that is. Thanks a million.

Thats good that there wont be any rubbing. Im pretty sure im going with sportlines. I dont want the body dragging on the ground, I just want the gap gone. Thanks for the info.
