Instead of lowering it, I was looking to get a pair of 16x9 D90's, moving the rear 16x8's to the front (which have a taller tire), then stretching something crazy on the rear to give me the same height tire.

GOOD LUCK finding 16x9 D90s sir! If you did find them that would be teh sexz. What size are the rear tires now?

You need bigger tires.

Raise the engine?! How close is your pan to the ground right now?

3, 5, or 6. I love your car, man.

Thanks for all the compliments!

This is how I came up with 500-600.

$400 for new struts.
$20 to pay someone to weld them
$10 for washers to raise up engine
~$70 to shorten the oil pan

Thats $500, and assuming everything comes out right, which it never does. Currently the oil pan is about 1.5 inches off the ground, and I have no room to get shorter springs because I will run out of travel.

PS: shadowline boooo!!!!

This.

Oh yeah and plaid is FTW so #7 or #8 are the awesome. I can't decide between the two.

#5, and for those that aren't aware, the expense is because the M42 lower oil pan is dangerously low. It needs to be re-thought to go any lower.

Nice looking ride you got there.

id like to see a pic of your car from an angle that actually allowed us to see how it sat on flat ground.

3, 7, or 8...7 is my favorite!

#3 has my vote. goes well with the paint theme of your car as a whole.
