I am using the stock, original springs and Gabriel shocks with 50K on them. It sags really bad on the right rear side.
This winter, I am installing Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs to lower it about an inch.

looks good i remeber whin i got mine in 97 .heres a few tips to keep them looking new.
1.watch out for deep pot holes in the rain .
2.never armerall them in 28 deg weather or the paint will spider crack all over the rim.
3. buy tiers that have a small lip to protect the rim
4.if you used spacers watch how close the tie rod gets to the weel, some times it will hit when turning at high speeds.
5. try not to drive down to many gravel roads small rocks like to
to hit the inner lip.
6. whin removing the rims watch for falling lug nuts they cause a nasty dent in the paint.
7. this is somethang you cant avoid but after 4 years the paint will turn yellow.
i thank thats it these are my faverite rims for f bodys and i might
get a second set just incase i really dammage one sence they brought them back.

I get tired of haveing to say this
I Guess I am the ODDBALL again....
Actually I don't perticullary care for those wheels too much. A refinished Formula wheel looks 10X better to me.
You know its strange, if you would have asked me about those like a year ago, I would have said "sweet", but the longer I am a enthusiast, the more a clean "STOCK" thirdgen looks.
Yes I know those are "stock replicas" but I don't care for them.
I don't mind mixmatching stock parts...
