Default The Time Has Come!!!!!

Well I have begun the tear down process and the car is almost together again with the new narrowed 9", Baer disc conversion, Hotchkis sway bars, Global West trailing arms, and QA1 shocks and coil overs. Once the rear end is back in the car I need to get some good measurements so I can finalize my Forgeline VR3P order (thanks to Frank and Lisa at GP Superstore).......

Last pic of the car with 15" Cragars.....


Baers and QA1's on the front (keeping the stock control arms for now).....


Rear tire fit check, 285/30-20 Toyo T1R (it will be tight)


Rear shot....


Definitely giving my floor a workout

The floors are holding up! It is getting a few scratches but nothing major because I am trying to be careful. Hence the rags under the jack stands

Should get the rear end in it this weekend when I can get some help from my buddy. I will post some more pics when that is finished.

Did you have to do any rolling or trimming to fit the 285 in the rear?

As of right now, not rolling or trimming, but it is going to be close. I bought the "Tire Mountmate" from www.autowaretech.com, so I can get really good measurements with the 285 series tire. I don't want to have to trim or roll anything.
