Stan that picture is beautiful, the small fog lights are a nice touch.
I was waiting for Stan to weigh in on stance...

The Previous owner bought almost all of the suspension modifications from Carl and Ireland 16 years ago per all of the receipts in the file. He had 205/60X14 tires on the stock FPS wheels. I changed to the 16X7 BBS wheels with the 205/55 Michelins. The front fender lips needed to be rolled. Corners at speed seem to have neutral handling with this set-up.
Surprised CN springs looks so jacked up.
Nice and low. Very nice.
Barry, what is your combination ?
Are their pictures of your car's restoration?
Thanks in advance, RP
1, 2 and 3! Air bags!
Barry - Your car? They look fantastic that low but drivability was terrible when mine was that low... I guess unless it's bagged?
Hi guys
I just posted to give you the other ... point of view.
Ground control setup is what I used mostly because they are right up the road from me. But they make a great product
You can find it on there site.

I think Carl has made more than 1 iteration of his springs. Here is my car with early Carl springs.
Thanks Barry for the link.
Let me finish the project before I take on another project (if that makes sense), but would like to duplicate your car's stance.
The information is greatly appreciated. GC coil overs are what we use for SpecE30 racecars.
OCCoupe, If my "Nelsons" were as pictured in your photograph, I'd be a fan. As evidenced by photograph #2, they didn't work for me.
Thanks all for the data and pictures!

PS the pictures are really good, and fun to look at. Time to do a 2022 Coupe Calendar Contest?

Barry = 16's or 17's? 215/45-16 tires are 23.6" diam. which is more than 1" smaller diameter than stock. 215/45-17 is 24.6 / 24.7" ... which is much closer to stock. they look more like 17's in the pic
