thanks alot guys!

Are Eibachs the springs of choice? I think Summit has them for like $239 a set, and the kit says they lower the vehicle 1 to 2 inches? What y'all think?

thanks!

Sweet!

Even at stock height, the Ronals look great on your Formy.

You have a Turbo V6 conversion car? You should post some pics of your engine bay in this or another thread.

I just need to save up some money for some tires before I get my R-15's installed.

Engine swap is in progress. I'm documenting the entire project on the digital camera, and will post pics soon.

Tires are 275/40/17 all the way around. 315/35s will fit out back. Once the 275/40s are burned off (shouldn't take long with the new motor) that's what is going on next.

Keep us posted on your progress then.

Post a link here when you start a thread in the Engine Swap forum.
