you cant use the qua shock, you need new rear components, you will prbly need to roll the fender and use a bfh for the inner fenderwell

86gt t-top · February 8th, 2009, 07:56 PM

well i got the fenders roled already and i was told that you just need to flip the quad shocks

take em out

Best thing to do will be to carfully remove the quad shocks. Then throw them in the trash as quick as you can!

i run 275/40/17's in the rear on my car and the rims are 10.5 inches wide. My car is lowered 1.5" and to get clearance i had to roll the outer fenderwells, use a bfh on the inners, and i also bought granatelli adjustable lower control arms to prevent any rubbing around corners, and I dumped my exhaust right before the rear axle becuse my tailpipes were rubbing on my tires. Good luck with it. Everyones cars are different in what types of mods are needed.

86gt t-top · February 12th, 2009, 01:38 AM

well the shocks are gone and i do notice a little rougher ride but all that will change in time with some new gear for the rear but still waiting on rims.. damn delay
