Default Pete -

Checked out your rear coil-over pictures, and I've got a question. You noted that with the original setup, with 295/50s and 6" backspacing on your rims, that you were very tight on space - did that get better with the coil-overs? Does the coil-over go in place of the shock, and the old spring just goes away?

Also, was there a reason you went with 6" backspacing? Looking at my car (with (shudder) drums and an 8.8" rear), it looks like you could go outboard more than 4", although probably not more than 5".

Mr. Toad - thanks for your pics as well - speaking of drums in the rear, can you tell me if your (very nice looking) wilwood setup changed the rear track?

Thanks,

JLW
