Thumbs up

Help please... i just installed Eibach springs on my 84 GSL-SE & i had to put on the original set of rims (205/60 14) with 1/8" spacers up front to keep the tires from rubbing against the springs. i'm looking for some advice about aftermarket rims (15 or 16) since i will probably need to replace the set of Borbet type E w/ Dunlop w-10 205/50 16

that wont fit in the wheel well anymore. thanks for any input

I've never heard any issues with the eibach's and stock tires. Gonna have to go low profile and a bit narrower.

Your car looks nice - but why do you have a Supra spoiler on the back hatch?

Oh - and Where did you get the coilovers for $200?
