Put the lakewood 50/50 Rear shocks, Lakewood LCA's and FMS B springs in the rear not to long ago...figured Id show some pics. I havnt did the front yet (waiting on struts)

heres a pic of it assembled for the most part, minus sway bar at the time

back on the ground...

Still gotta go through and find the isolaters off of my 88 when I took it apart since the 90 had none.

its a 255/60/15 in the back, I dont really know how much it lowered it because the stock springs had been cut and it sat unlevel at times lol.

oh big tire out back . do they make the car swishy in the back or lose. i know when i go from the sumitmo sp* to the old bfg's the car is a whole differnt car. but we are talking a verry loose tire to a verry soft wana stick to the road in any condition and wear out in a year tire. 15bfg to 16 also some puppiesan name

By the way. do you know the offset on those wheels to get a 255 in the back? and are the quad shocks fliped?

car feels good to me in the back, quad shocks are not flipped and the backspacing is 5.5". The car had 275/50 BFG in the rear when i bought it, but they were beyond shot and it rubbed the drivers inner fender a lil bit so I went down a couple sizes.
