probably wont be posting up those numbers either . car runs good from a roll but not soo good at all from a stop. slicks didn't help much at all. i hope they work better at the track tomorrow.

they are just et streets. might have to try some et drags or even the mt drag radials.

stock 4cyl front struts and springs

not sure on the rear springs. they are not stock though, something someone had laying around and i think they are shorter than stock. something like a 50/50 rear shock whatever that is.

we have a set of rims from a mazda turbo car. they are 16x8 with a 6.5 bs. i can't find a 15 rim with that bs and that is what we will need to get a 275/60 on there. maybe mazda had one in a 15 rim like they do the 16 rim.

Nearly any aftermarket rim is avaliable with that backspace i have 15x10 with 6.5 bs on my mustang and im sure they would fit on a fairmont/zephyr the same maybe some hammering and rolling the lip might be in order but thats minor ....i bet some 90/10 struts would help it out along with pulling the front sway bar if not already done
