Right- they totally fill up the space, but you need the ss springs to keep the body off them. If I was rich I would have big huge tires tubbed in with the car dropped so the wheel well sits just above the rim on the back, but I actually like the slightly lifted to clear big tires look. Kinda oldschool and if the rake isn't too silly it still corners good.

Seen the 'poppa johns' commercials? His brand x car has the back lifted to clear and the tires sticking out the sides a few inches. Just my opinion but it looks real dumb. Especially now that people are running way below 10 second 1/4 miles with 10.5" slicks.


Anyway, good luck and post pictures when you get it together!
