    We used wagon rear, and 82 t-bird front springs which raised the car close to 3/4 inch,
    to fit 225/60/15 tires easily (they where rubbing in front with stock springs).
    Even with that it almost looks like it's lowered.



    Convinced my dad to go with some 17" bullets, powder coated white and was
    hoping to lower the car a bit, but not sure it is going to be possible.

    Wagon springs were from dealer, but well over 10 years ago.
    T-bird springs were moog or TRD from rock auto if I remember correctly.

    I love the white on white too, but getting real hard to find decent tires in 15"
    (I don't want to use DR's on it, gets caught in rain coming home from the car shows
    often enough) We are going 331 stroker with better heads, so he is going to need wider
    meats out back.

    I have a 14 mustang GT and put on one of the stock 235/55/18's (27.2 dia) from that
    on his car last night just for SAG. Even with it on the lift and suspension at max droop,
    that tire barely fit. Might have to rethink 17's.

    I did buy a set of 16 inch wheels for future use. Do you a pic of the 18s on it? Also like to see how that Vortech fits in.
