Got the race wheels on... needs lifted now

xtremes10 · May 8th, 2010, 10:00 PM

Car is WAY too low, thinking maybe a full set of cobra jet springs

Like I said, gotta get different springs, its just too much

HMUSN · May 8th, 2010, 10:11 PM

needs a thinner sidewall on the front (and raised a bit) and a drop in the ass. Just my opinion though.

Find me a radial tire that will fit a 17x4.5 wheel and I will use it

The front needs raised, I don't know if I can lower the back with the suspension, I may run it at stock height with the stock springs

The only things off hand I can think of are m@h which you have. lol

Those are the hoosiers lol they only make them in that size and I'm running a radial rear so I'm stuck

Just keep in mind, the car has lowering springs in the front and stocks in the rear for now, so it will level off and look better

It's so low in the front for the simple reason that the rear is "chevy riddin high" lol

Lower the rear and you should be set.

Lol again, can't lower the rear I had to raise it for the suspension.... been fighting with this over and over, the front is gonna have to come up one way or another...

Nope those are the stock GT500 springs, I'm running lowering springs in the front like I said, I had an Eibach pro kit all the way around but it was too much lowering on the rear to run this suspension

MyGT · May 9th, 2010, 09:31 AM

why not run coilovers?

Eibach Pro-Street adjustable coil over kit.

Just put new shocks in it anyways, plus the cobra jet springs are $80 so... and I have my stock ones laying around

I dont think it looks bad, but like you said raise the front a bit and you should be good. and your not limited to radial fronts, you can get bias ply fronts also. I know they say you shouldn't run biasply and radial tires together but a lot of people do and have no problems

When looking at the car striaght on it looks so badass.. like in picture #5!
