Lookin' good! My interior is original, and in rather good condition. I'm going to wash it up, and I think it'll look nice. Rolling Eyes

IMO...Perfect Stance! Well done! Now please tell us all what you did....Narrowed? How narrow? Wheel width? Tire size? Drop Spindles? And the back - How many notches?
Thanx!

ok, here's what i did. the beam is narrowed 2". empi 2 1/2" dropped spindles(i here empi sucks now but they claim they don't add track width, and no problems yet!) front wheels are 4 1/2" wide mangels with 4 1/2" backspacing. these made the biggest difference! really tucked the wheel in! front tires are bfg 155/80 15. awesome tire!! the footprint is so close to a 165, but a little shorter and narrower. stops on a dime! Cool the beam has puma style adjusters down 1 notch. bugpack 2" narrowed 3/4" swaybar. no rubbing! Very Happy i really think the swaybar helps with rubbing, i mean, if you're close to the fender reducing body roll is a plus. Razz and its really fun to drive! as for the rear, wheels are 5 1/2" mangels with 'no name' 'wide track' 165 15 tires. (they are fatter than a nankang) ride hieght adjusted 1 notch i think, plus 1 inner on passinger side, to even out driver side sagging. my friend helped with the rear so i will get back if i was wrong. also replaced rear swingarm bushings. oil shocks up front, monroe gas shocks in rear. that's it. rides pretty good. all new balljoints and tie rod ends seem to make it steer a little stiff. only a few hundred miles so far. hope that answers all your questions.
