Moving you shocks inboard is not necessary to run 9.5", 17" wheels. The limiting factory is your inner fender, not your shock. You shock is mounted behind your inner fener. And a 17" wheel is big enough to clear your wheel at the bottom. So don't waste your time.

Awesome stance.....only thing I can see that MIGHT need some messing with is the rear end.....sitting a little high with those wheels.

PLEASE tell me that no airshocks are involved there ?????

I guess your talking to me? If so, no it doesn't have air shocks. The reason the rear seems like it sits a little high is because the front sits so low. It's as low as you could possibly go and still drive the car. I'd like to lower the rear about 3/4", but there's not much travel back there now.

Well I guess you can't ad an image on here. Here is a good pic of the stance of my car, http://home.earthlink.net/~mutert23/_uimages/rear.JPG

Now I remember why I stoped posting on here, you can't pic your password, and I can never remember that thing.

Heh....I remember seeing your car when I was searching the net looking for first gens with 17" wheels. You've got like three different sets on there! What are those in the last picture you posted? Looks pretty good...

Yeah that's me. I've had 14's, 16's, 17's, 18's and 20's on the car. I'll keep these on for awhile now .
