Probably a dumb question, but Ive been wanting to put a simular setup on my Z28. Are EXTENDED studs needed to fit the Welds?

Here is a picture of them, Up-front I have hal qa1 12-way adjustable shocks, I dont really know the price, I bought the car with them on it. Out back it stock shocks, with v6 rear springs.

No I did not use extended studs, You do have to grind away the brake caliper quite a bit to get the rear rims to fit. Since I have the knock-off summit rims upfront there was no griding required.

I can't remember what Kumho it is but I used to be able to get them for like 26 dollars a tire.

In my opinion though, I didn't like them. Always looked flat even with 40 PSI.

Thanks, how do you like the adjustables out-back? I think it's gonna be my next purchase.

It's great because I run a stock rear sway bar and can adjust them independently. I have to admit it rides a little funny to be so soft up front and stiffer in the back.

Have you had any issues with the Kumhos? I've been thinking about getting some.
