That looks like a good setup. What is the measurement from the center of the wheel cap to the top of the wheelwell?

What springs did you use or was it part of the SC&C kit?

Thanks

I can take some measurements this weekend for ya.

 

[VIN7]

Cool, I meant to say top of the wheel arch (fender lip)

 

[sakudog]

Approximately 13.75" FR/FL & Approximately 14.5" BR / BL

Drives TOTALLY DIFFERENT, like it is a MODERN car, super super happy.

Can you measure the distance from the centerline of the wheelwells (front and rear) to the ground? And what size tires so you have?

 

[sakudog]

245/45/16 and obviously they are on 16" rims so that would be pretty easy to calculate

I'm going to add a set of 18X9.5 & 18X10 CCW Classics in 3-4 weeks, these wheels were just the "stop gap" while I worked out some other things. Will post a new thread when they are here.

Thanks for the measurement. Centerline to ground will change with tire diameter, centerline to top of fender lip will always be the same regardless of tire size. I'll post my stock measurements so that this thread can be a reference.

hello; You might want to try there front brace also. It might work with a stock IC but I know it doesn't with a PTE SLIC.

With the factory 25 year old springs in front I measured 15" from centerline of wheel to top of fender lip, with 15 year old Moog variable rate cargo springs in the rear 15" measured the same way the fronts were.

So I just need to find someone with a setup at 14" front and rear and I can get my desired stance.
