Craig,

The car looks great and appears to be real drivable. Really like the fact that you cant see the collectors underneath. Ive got two quick questions, what rear suspension is under that car(drop leafs?) and what is the wheel /tire size we are looking at? Nice job- There are so many great choices in first gen subs these days, its become difficult to choose- Thanks Rich

The spindle is a C5 piece that has a bolt-on dropped steering arm.

Rich,
The rear suspension consists of composite leaf springs and adjustable shocks. The tires are 275/40R18 in the rear and 245/40R18 in front.

Thanks for the compliments guys! The car truly is a blast to drive, yet comfortable enough to drive long distances. I've been driving it everywhere, from Wal-Mart to local state parks (and I guess once to the liquor store) and haven't found a situation where I haven't been extremely pleased with it.

Sweet car, Matt. The vinyl top complements the silver paint nicely. Rer spring height is without flipped ends, right?

That's right...I just used Hyperco's design. Looks pretty good. I wouldn't mind another 1/2" lower or so...but I like it anyway.

BTW, the car ended up at 3070lbs w/o driver and half tank a fuel. 53/47 weight distribution, which isn't too bad at all. Left to right is within 20lbs. Overall, I'm happy.
