Thats exactly what i was looking at. Set up looks clean. Thanx

Also another type of tire to consider is the GoodYear Eagle F-1 GS-D3's , they are a rain tire and have an aggressive tread design. But they do cost significantly more than a set of Nitto's. I will be using those next.

Yea they would rub in front even with a 1/4 inch spacer. I had Saleen racecraft springs and Tokico blue struts and shocks. Nothing too bad though.
