The car sits level, I guess I should have picked a better spot for a picture.  Otherwise it sits the same as the front in that picture. 

I believe that this car was origbuttstuffy equiped with the TRX package, it has a rear sway bar, looks to sit a little lower and handles great.  It also has a big front sway bar but I'm not sure if these cars had multiple size sway bars.  Now the number one giveaway would be the Ten hole wheels that it would have not come with origbuttstuffy.  Plus two of the center caps are dated 87. 

As for white wheels.... I'm not a big fan.  They just don't look right to me.  Tomorrow I'm going to take it to the car wash as it is filthy in these pictures.  I will snag some more pictures and hope for some sunlight. 

Oh and I didn't touch the suspension when I installed the wheels.  Not yet.

I'll have to bust out something in PSP with brown snowflakes...

And sho... snowflakes are cheap and easy to find so thats why I have them.. I do like them, but If I could get ahold of something else I wouldn't hesitate in changing them.

What do you guys think of this new sig?

Brown with the satin centers.....:D

Perhaps a very slight drop, not much though.

You need to hit that rear rocker rust with the blaster and seal it up, esp if the car is going to see an Ohio winter....
