Project update. 17s are in

It's coming along. SLOWLY

Couldn't resist putting pictures up since I got the wheels.

Voxx mg-3 17x7
205/40 front
215/45 rear
Both Maxxis MA-Z1 tires

Nofords has been a huge help here, so props to him for answering my 10000+ text messages.

Specs:
2nd gen subframe swap to 5-bolt, 4-pistons, etc.
Poly everything up front,
stock 24mm turbo sway bar
RB 1st gen rear sway bar

91 NA 13B
Ebay Camber plates
KYB AGX adjustables front, 175-lb spring rate
Stock rear shocks. ...maybe illuminas yet
Rear Springs off a Mustang front 8cyl springs. (Will get changed out for 6 cyl or maybe 4 cyl springs)

Just ordered:
Poly 4 link / watts link / sway bar mounts for rear
full exhaust header > collector > 3" Moroso Spiral Flow > 2.5 " reducer > Thrush welded muffler > 2x6" polished stainless tip
Wilwood brake MC and proportioner.

Also, the wheel gap will disappear once I know where to set my ride height.

Looking good. Are you going 5 lug in the rear as well? Respeed parts make it really easy to do.
