'72 Nova Project

Here is one of my 26" tall slicks next to the current wheels, also of the slicks on the back (and the 15x3.5" Prostars on the front).

It raised the back up about 1.5" and cleared everything. I kinda like the black steel wheel look.

Next to test are 16x8 IROC wheels, i have 2 sets of those laying around.

New wheels... American Racing TT2's

17x9's in the rear and 17x8's in the front.


I still have to fabricate all new rear shock mounts, the wheels/tires are too wide and rub the stock setup. I did cut one coil out of the front springs to get a little rake. I'm happy with the stance now.

Hoping to get a crossmember and mounts built this weekend, finish up a few small things and then get back on the road.

Sweet, they look like old school Dragways

You do know that's not an ideal way to lower a car; all you did is reduce the suspensions abilities...

Yah, I know lol...they're tall springs.. and not progressive rate so it shouldn't be too bad.

Pretty soon i'm going to pick up some actual drop springs for it, i just couldn't swing it after replacing all the bushings on the car with poly, the SFC's, traction bars.. and the wheels.
