    Rides pretty decent.. although crank'd torsions = less spring rate. i really dont mind the ride so far. Plus im riding on 15yo dampers all around. I actually raised it up a bit more... soemwhat riding on the bumpstops.


    As for rubbing... im not experiencing anything yet since i slapped my bumpstops back in. Will make some more space later then go lower w/ trimmed bumpstops.



    sister's camry... sad and long story

    i still vote for 195/65/14s all the way around. i have them in the front of my 78. they look alot better than 75s but are still a hair over 24" tall. mounted and balanced was like 110 for 2. i think you could swing something like that. maybe even something about that size used locally and have them put onto your rims. and have you thought about finding some of the older steelies?
