WOW, that stance is perfect. Is it just my eyes, or does it look lower than freds? That a 2" drop? Joe's post has me sold on the intrax 2" springs. Freds looks more like 1.5" or so. I love. Very nice man, love the alloys on the Firebirds.

Mine is lower than Fred's cause he needs room to run the Slicks. Here is a side shot of the 17x11 rim.

Your wheels definitely look different...... part of that may also be the lugs.... mine are "duplex" length 1/2-20 to fit over the 3" studs.

The front rims on my car have a sharper edge to the spokes compared to the rear. Are yours like that as well Fred? I also have the AFS 17x9.5 17x11 polished combo. Another thing I noticed on barrys wheels are the silver paint and polished lip. I didnt know they had that !1996 Arctic White Z28, A4, K&N CAI, TByrne MAF ends, BBK Twin-52mm TB, TB Bypass, SLP 1 3/4" Shorties, Richmond 3.42's, Dynomax Bullet Muffler W/Turn Down, BMR Adj.

That was also a change. They used to offer them with just the edge of the lip polished, then they made some with no polished lip at all. I think their maufacturer screwed up. Then they did the wider polished lip. I waited months to get these off Ebay, and watched them go through the different sets.Kbddsfc,B&M Ripper,Ws6 Rims,Hotchkiss Stb,Bmr Lca,Gwphr,Strange 4:10's,LPEds,Borla,AS&M Headers,RT cat,Powerslot rotors,Hawk Pads R/Pf pads Fr,Mba shift knob,Slp Hood&Airbox,Holley Powershot filter,Fernco mod, Lt4km,Firebat decals,T/A Girdle,HPP.160stat,Bilstein shocks,Z06 Brakes,AFS ZR1's,GSD3's.

The front and rear wheels are the same on mine, with the softer, rounded edges on the spoke. The picture above is the rear wheel. This is the front wheel:
I remember helping a guy out in a post on cz28.com..... three of his wheels had the "open" holes for the lugs, but the fourth one had a deep "closed" hole for the lug nut that was so narrow he couldn't get a "standard" thin-wall socket into it.Fred

Originally posted by DeWynterI just cant will or force my self to use a hammer on my car kudos to you that can, I think with the right spacing I can still fit an 11 inch rim under my formula without beating her, and sticking out from under the wheel well.
One other thing: I did not grind the Bump stops and when I jacked it from the side it did not hit the wheel. I will be pulling the wheels this weekend to respray the undercoating that I knocked off. I will see then how much clearance there is for me.Kbddsfc,B&M Ripper,Ws6 Rims,Hotchkiss Stb,Bmr Lca,Gwphr,Strange 4:10's,LPEds,Borla,AS&M Headers,RT cat,Powerslot rotors,Hawk Pads R/Pf pads Fr,Mba shift knob,Slp Hood&Airbox,Holley Powershot filter,Fernco mod, Lt4km,Firebat decals,T/A Girdle,HPP.160stat,Bilstein shocks,Z06 Brakes,AFS ZR1's,GSD3's.

I thought I read somewhere that chrome plating has a harder time staying attached to the base metals at sharp angle bends. Perhaps the edges were smoothed slightly to promote a longer lasting finish. Chrome usually starts peeling at an edge, not on a smooth rounded portion so there may be something to that.

You are correct. I chose these springs based on what I read and the 1st hand experience of a friend who had this setup on his car. I drove it and liked the way it rode and handled. But because of sound insulation in the back of my car that he did not have Mine sat a little lower in the rear than his.Kbddsfc,B&M Ripper,Ws6 Rims,Hotchkiss Stb,Bmr Lca,Gwphr,Strange 4:10's,LPEds,Borla,AS&M Headers,RT cat,Powerslot rotors,Hawk Pads R/Pf pads Fr,Mba shift knob,Slp Hood&Airbox,Holley Powershot filter,Fernco mod, Lt4km,Firebat decals,T/A Girdle,HPP.160stat,Bilstein shocks,Z06 Brakes,AFS ZR1's,GSD3's.
