Ok guys I'm running 20's all 4 corners started with 245/35/20 295/30/20 Toyo, swapped rear tires today to 295/35/20 pilot....currently I have cpp 2" drop springs in rear and cut one coil in front, not sure if I want to cut some more or run drop spindles in front....:thankyou:

Not a big fan of 20's on a mid size car but if I was running that combo it needs about 1" more in back and 2-2.5" in front

My vote would be to bring it down some more. I think you need to tuck the tire a bit in the wheelwell . I would come down at least 1.5".

I agree, it needs to come down about another inch in the rear. I have a 72 Chevelle and run 20's on all for corners. Here are a few pics of my ride height. I wanted the ledge of the fender to go past the top of the wheel a little bit. Me personally, I like the 20 on our cars....at least a 19" anyway. I think our cars are too big for 17's and 18's.

Thanks for the compliment bro. Take your time and do it right. Funny you mentioned "part II" because this is my 2nd rebuild as well.

dropped the front almost 2" this past weekend, think i dropped it to much but it might grow on me....just looks funny with the engine being that close to the ground

Jay, would you mind providing some fender measurements?
I bought 2" front 3" rear drop parts but after looking at lots of pictures I think maybe my car is already lowered.
I appreciate it.

@barrf its around 26 in the rear and a tad bit over 25 in the front..might come up a hair in front when i change tires to 255/35/20...previously had 245/35/20....:headscratch:

That's a huge improvement, but it still looks off to me. The car can suck up the 20"s in the rear pretty well, but have you thought about using a 19" up front?
The front seems a little high I suppose.
