True. Waiting to see if I eventually go to 5 lug or not. Too early for me to tell.

Yeah, the 5 lug swap parts kind of fell into my lap at the right time from a good friend of mine, so I went ahead with the swap mid resurrection. Haha

You know, now that you say that, I should take some better pics. And just more pics in general. To throw up on here for the guys to see. I'll take some early this week hopefully!!

I had to ziptie my ebrake cables on my 86 cougar with 275/60's on 10 holes. I didn't have to do anything when i ran them in my 87 bird. They rub more on my 86 cougar and the springs don't sag at all. My 87 bird sagged and only rubbed on full deflection of one wheel.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

This is true in my case. I zip tied mine as well because they would rub. I think I forgot to mention that at beginning of this thread....
