I must once again point out that my wheels are cooler cuz I had 'em first.

You need to drop that thing. Looks like an AMC Eagle riding that high.

Damn you people with 99 spec parts!!! LOL

I love that front bumper.... Too bad I'm broke...

Car is looking pimp! Didn't think going to 18's would raise the car so much... Hopefully when you lower that bad boy you won't need to do anything drastic to the wheel arches...

Very sweet ride!

Lates,

P.S. No spoiler???

I sold Mr. Vin Diesel the wheels and tires back when I was with the shop.

Not 100% positive, but i believe they are 18x8s and 18x9s with 245/40 and 275/40. Yoko ES100s. Hyper Black Enkei RPM2s.

Car is looking good Joseph......we are going to do some highway pulls when I come and visit ya

it's probably a 94
mine sits even higher than that and I've noticed that 93s tend to be lower than 94s which are perched up

Not to jack the thread but...

I think you are right. Mine is a 93 touring and it is higher at the rear than the fronts as you can see in the picture.

Just a thought, can I use just aftermarket springs w/ stock shocks only at the rears and leave the front stock(good height enough not to scratch the front lip)? To make it look more balanced. I don't know what effect it is going to do as far as handling.

They look like 18s which IMHO are too big for the FD to look right. They fill the arches well, but the car just sits to high.
