these are the slicks I want to use 8.5/24.5-13.this is the rims 13x8, 4x4.5, with a 4" backspace . trying to fine out what will fit best with this set up. I just don't want to lower the car to much. I just want it to handle better. and also I don't want it to make it were the slicks won't fit. right now I am using 215/45/17 street tires. I will be using gr2 shocks as well. can anyone recommend any set up that they might be using with 24 inch slicks. I haven't order anything yet. I want to find out what will work. links would be helpful. i just don't want to use the stock springs.

yes they do. call them. why does everyone still think they don't since chris or whatever his name was left? they still have all the plans and even a few sets left. they've SUPPOSEDLY been working on their website for years, but i haven't seen it update. but yes, they do still make the kit.

Or buy a good setup Koni's and GCs or as a backup buy GR2s and B+G springs

I decided to go with nrg/e-bay coilovers kit. becuase the car is going to be a primarily used for drag racing. gr2 shocks all the way around. I just hope my slicks will fit. just for future refrence.I tried searching for Ground Control coilovers, could not find for our cars. I don't think they make them from our car specificaly. what car do you order them for? can you use the agx shocks the ajustable ones with e-bay coilovers?true coilovers are out of my price range right now.

any tips for the nrg will be helpful.

This is the email I recieved back from them yesterday about the coil over sets: "Sorry for the incovinience, but we do not make a coil over set up
anymore. We carry kyb shocks and bolt ons for the mitsu 4g63 engine".

It's been a while since I posted here I used to be Rice killer on this board and others but for some reason I could no longer log in with that user name so I registered under this one. I just bought my 91 Colt GL back from my brother who I sold it to about 6months ago. Well it needs help BAD in the suspension department, it feels like it might roll or tip over at any moment driving down the highway. So I ordered some new KYB GR2s and now I need to buy some new springs. What are better Intrax or B&G Springs and where is the best/cheapest place to buy them. Thanks in advance. :drinkers:
