Thanks Onlyonthurs, I'm loving yours too!

What's your opinion on the ST springs' performance and comfort? Are you using aftermarket struts & shocks? I'm thinking of dropping maybe an inch or so, but at the same time I'm thinking that the stock setup w/ low miles I have will be pretty fookin tough to put away.

I love these springs...thay are stiffer than stock but wont break your back lol. You can defiently daily drive them. Im using Tokico HP (blues) for struts and shocks. I love those things! next up are my bushings!!!

I have a similar suspension setup (rb springs and tokico bluess) as onlyonthurs and I can say that the ride quality is daily livable, just slow down over speed bumps and its not a problem

Could be preload on the suspension links. It is best to tighten the links when the suspension is at a level stance not in droop.

In response to a PM I received, here is some pics of the clearance between the strut assy and the new wheels. Again these are Konig Rewind 15x7 (4x110mm) with 20mm offset.

Thats for sure. Not quite good enough to make me wanna spend $500 to replace my Ronal 15x7's, though. I know what I would replace them with, if I had to, but hopefully that will never become an issue........

Great look on the rewinds.Doing springs-struts-shocks-bushings-idler arm-pitman arm now on an '84 GSL. Will lower suspension 1". I may be lookin' to do tires and rims next. Like the rims . Would like to see a tread pattern on you shoes. I think those rims could look great with my Tornado Silver color.

I don't believe they will fit the SE, the bolt patterns & offset are different if I'm not mistaken. Yep, a quick search just told me: These are 4x110mm with 20mm offset and the SE's (stock) are 4 x 4.5" (4x114.3mm)and offset on a 14x5.5 SE wheel is 40mm.

first got to say i like the rims. but i just dont wanna be like everyone else that has them. has anyone ever tried buying a none drilled rim (no bolt pattern just blanks) and having then milled and drilled for the 4/110 bolt pattern 20+ offsett. i had a set done for my other car when i saw a pair of rims i just had to have. also what about adaptors for the 4/100 pattern. its just with the 4/100 pattern the rims would be so much cheaper and also many more choices. once again i like ur rims but just kinda wanna be different
