Tell me about it guys. I have to walk right past it every day when I leave for work or come home. Lol. It's nearing completion and it's almost unreal to me. Haha.

Yeah I'm still in the early project stage with my 78 swap.. Just sits in the garage looking sad. Never have/make time to work on it. I can drive it, but still needs full interior and exterior work.

BMR springs, OEM isolator pads in rear, 4 Koni STR.T shocks

Rears widened to 11", Nitto 555 G2 315's, 1" adapter/spacer
Fronts are stock, Nitto 555 G1 275's, ARP studs with 3/8" spacer

Not sure why mine didn't lower it as far as far as it should have, but I'm happy with the stance. I scrape enough as it is with the long tubes and having only 2.25" of ground clearance.

Every car is different but your car looks like it has the correct amount of lowering/stance for a 1.2in drop spring.
How do you like the nt555 G2s in terms of ride quality and handling?

Yep it's definitely visually lower, I was just commenting on them compared to Strano springs with same shocks, their springs are supposed to lower the same but definitely go alot further, at least in the front. Seeing my brother identical car on them compared to mine, mine looks high, lol. It's perfect for me either way tho, I wouldn't mind a little lower but prefer the higher stance, much like the old BMR springs were. Visually they seemed to lower the car the same amount as my old Firehawk.

I like the G2's, they seem to ride good and stick good. The G1's on the fronts were on it when I bought it and are cupping bad so it's a little noisy. In the spring I'll replace them with some G2's. The only negative with G2's and of course common with all Nitto's it seems, is the 315's don't look as wide as the should/could. For the price and mileage, can't be the G2's either way!

Did Vaughn do your rear wheels? And what did that run you?

InfiniteReality

iTrader: (6)

Yes sir, exactly. I believe it was $500 to do them. It took longer than what he told me, but I definitely expected longer anyways since he's a 1 man operation. Went with him because he charged same price as the other place but doesn't use a donor wheel and instead uses the back half of a 2 piece Budnik wheel

Real happy with the new 20mm spacers... 285/35 18x10.5 +58 (+38 active offset now)

Are you running any spacers on the front? They seem pushed out a tad too far or could be just the angle of picture.

I may have posted this a decade ago, but in case I didn't here's my favorite picture of my old Firehawk. Stock widened (11") rear wheels, 1st gen BMR springs (1" drop) and DeCarbons.



and a "stance" side shot profile of it.
