Thanks Rob.


The wheels and tires are 17x8 w/ 235/45/17 front. 17x9 w/ 265/40/17 rears.
The pics were taken on stock 93 touring suspension. I picked up some H&R springs today from PFS though.
The car seems to sit pretty tall right now. I'll have the springs on tomorrow though to get it to a respectable ride height.

From the looks of your pics It looks about the same as mine.
I am guessing that the H&R springs lower it about 1" or 1 1/2"
PLus they are stiffer so they will not dip as much when going over bumps.
I would guess that you are good for some springs.
