    Aren't the broadway coils a downgrade from the ge units? Can't say I'm in love with the wheel change either but one thing is for certain. Your car always looks stellar.

      Where did you get the broadway static coils from?
      I bought them from the guys at broadway static, they have a thread on SW.

      From everything I've read they shouldn't be a downgrade by any means, everyone says that they are great. Hand assembled, multiple spring rate choices, shocks are valved to match, threaded body design (wont loose shock travel), come with camber plates and rear shock mounts, warranty on the parts as well.
      Biggest selling points for me were the threaded body design and the warranty. Plus my old setup was pieced together from multiple brands, ex: GE coils, IE camber plates, IX shocks. I prefer that everything comes from the same place.
      Thanks for the compliment though!

        Broadway statics are here and welded up, no installed pics just yet. Waiting on camber plates, plus I'm leaving for Florida for a week on Sunday. More progress when I return.

        Wheels are rebuilt with 2.5" lips, 16x9 et24 all around, thinking 18/20mm adapters. Tires will probably be my 512s from the bbs last year, don't really wanna run that much stretch any more but my budget doesnt allow for new tires just yet lol, and the 512s are basically brand new. Tires will be 205/45/16 unless I can find some wider ones for sale.

        All of these pics are with 18mm 42dd adapters mounted, hoping to get a little lower when the car is on the ground, also need to re-roll fenders.

        Since I suck at updating this project thread, follow me on Instagram haha. @michael_colby I usually post updates every time I work on the car.

              Thanks!

              Back from vacation now, going to mount tires this weekend hopefully. Still waiting on the camber plates.
