I am running a full length Bilstiein shock and a custom fabbed strut housing. The reason why I am running this is that I get good travel from the piston (did I actually say there was a piston on a FC?). The lowered mounting of the strut is why normally long enough springs are too short. I gained about another 1" or so of uptravel. Also the shocks are inverted.

Hopefully I will have the time now to work on the car and things should start moving forward again. Spring will be here before I know it!

25BP Currently I am running 17 X 10 in front with no rubbing and 17x11 in the back with two spacers. I have both a 1/4 in and a 3/8 in to prevent the tire from hitting the cotrol arm.

Are you driving a 3rd or 2nd?

How much do your wheels weigh?

Thanks

Allan

Just scared of getting beat by a car with fewer mods Allan?

Stay in SM2... Prepared cars are pretty much fully stripped, if you can't win in a upstart class like SM2 I don't think it'll get any easier in Prepared.

You never called me back...

Spank, it is a 87 T2 BP car.
I am running Real Racing wheel, they are 16x12 and weigh 16 pounds and ran about $231 per.
They are a custom 3 piece wheel that you can have made to your own specs. Pretty great price for that flexibility.
