If I get the porsche wheels I'll probably not re-drill. Just get some adapters. And I'd have to get the 8.5 fronts. If I go with the 11 rear then I gotta pay more for tires lol. Rebarreling to step 19's will cost me 1500.

Lunek, looking great!

Looks like someone else knows how to rock the step fronts, reverse rears.

true rear? whats the point cus then you have to buy stiffer springs (like you did)

couldn't you just run stiffer springs? or was inner clearance THAT much of a problem?

can't run stiffer springs in the rear with oem style on stance. plus its a progressive rate spring in the rear. meaning it wont even achieve the advertised 10k of rate until its almost half way compressed.

I went with swift springs as well which are among the best...

what extra piece of equipment. BC rear springs are still progressive...I want linear rates.

Besides, after I get the fenders pulled (if I do), my SPC toe bolts wont give me enough of an adjustment to zero the toe out after I make more positive camber.

So I need true coils in the rear to run toe-arms.

There is a method to my madness...lol
