    It's starting to be a little challenging. Probably because I have the kyb/fms spring kit.

    So far I've had to hack the side skirts, roll all 4 fenders, 2 spacers per rears, 4 rubber coil stopper-a-thingies all around.

    I would of given up if the car didn't look so damn sexy in those shoes.


    I'll keep you all posted.

        Well... All in all this was an expensive experience, but when isn't it?

        Had to have a ball joint replaced, that was the source of the excessive camber and the reason the tire wore out as much as it did...

        These will not fit. (grrr) Not through lack of trying. Apparently low pro 13" are next to impossible to find.



        But as to the requests, here's what *205*/60/r13 looks like. Keep in mind this isn't for the faint of heart, in total 4 spacers at the rear to clear the pearches, 4 rubber coil thingies all around (car actually rides HIGHER than it did before) These restrict travel so the ride is harsher than it was on kyb-gr2/fms setup.



        Had to hack off a piece off the skirts as it rubbed when fully cranked.



        NB: These are very FAT.



        Fills the wheel wells quite nicely.



        Something to keep in mind, had to roll all 4 fenders too.

              ghetto style. Baseball bat (actually a very thick broom handle in my case)

              Not very safe either. Paint will crack if you do this.
