At first I had posted on cafords asking if anybody knew what the proper offset was on a fox giving me the most lip on a 18x9 and 18x10 rim, but since nobody knew the answer I crossed my fingers/took my own measurements with my boy known as 93SVT ... So now I have my order and was pleased to see they fit with no problems... (ROUND II ) Now I can't even leave my garage due to when I originally built the car for drag I ordered the k-member, MacPherson strut/coil over kit and those stupid tubular control-arm that moves your front wheels foward, which is the cause of why I can't turn my f----n wheels more than three inches to either side... Back to the drawing board . (Just venting) take a look, Daniel

Looks good! The careful measurements and hours of research paid off.

off topic....how high is the rise on the cowl? is it a cervinis?

Can you move the whole K-member backward?...With adjustable C/C plates you should still be able to get the correct caster....

Good luck, looks great!...

I can't move the K-member back anymore. Why? Because when I installed the k-member kit, I had oblonged the mounting holes which helped move the motor centimeters from the firewall for drag weight purposes... My first thought was to post the tubular control arms for sale, but after thinking about this Dilemma I had. I had decided this morning to take the suspension apart and figure it out myself which I did . Now it's time for some 6piston wilwood brakes . Here are the before and after results.

do you have disc brake in the back?

After all the work/time it took my friend and I to make this hood as smooth as glass, I'd recommend using cervini's... At this moment I'm still drums in rear.

Thanks peeps. This isn't Seans car. It's Daniels. I finished putting this car together around two and a half years ago and just recently decided to stop with the drags and convert her back to weekend worrior.
