p.s t bars going to get scrapped, urgh there not for me at all
im hoping once the back end settles a bit more will look of less fo a rake i only really want a slight rake, thats 2 splines on theback and the front adjustable beam as low as it iwll go

Are you sure your front tires aren't going to rub if you hit a bump mid corner? Looks great though. I agree with the T-Bars. Not for me either.

might want to raise the front a bit too to make it more drivable and level it out once it has settled. Nose down is for cal lookers!

I agree that the nose is a little too low, but I am partial to a bit of rake, say an inch or two at most. The rake on your car is definitely more "old school" IMHO. You may be able to achieve a slight rake just by using a bit smaller tires in the front over the rears. I’ve seen this done quite successfully in the past

I look forward to seeing more info on your project.

Cheers,

did scrub the front wings, doesnt any more as i have changed them, rather than raising the frotn i want to lower the back another spline, as for drivability have driven around last niught and thne to work and back today with no problems, well there was an insidant where the adjuster cought a gurder, but i have cut that down now and havnt had much trouble, i want slight rake or non at all i was hoping it would of been lower that it is at the back so in a few month ionce the 18's are on will have to get it tracked and play around with the suspension heights to suit them also i am picking up some flared arches at the weekend for her


these are the wheels i have bougth for her, i plan to spray them satin black at work and do the trim the same, also she will be having a full respray when i make my mind up on a shade of green
