Unhappy

:dontgetit:hey guys now that I finally got that fuel problem fixed. I am finally getting to put all of my suspension on my T2.I have a pair of suspension techniques springs that lowers it about 1-1/2 inches and I have 18'' rims w/225/40s. Does anyone have any advice or has anyone done this same set up before.The reason for this ques. is b/c If it won't work I'm not going to change anything b/c I already have new stock height springs on it ,but who wants to be stock that sucks! So anyway If anybody can help,or have any opinions please help.

I have ST springs, and I'm using 18's. I have 225/40/18 up front and 275/35/18 in the back.

13bace does your car sit level or is it alittle high in the back. just asking b/c of the height difference in tire.

Here's a picture:



The diameter of the rears is about 20mm more than stock.

There are ALOT of RX-7's here, but I don't think I'd move somewhere because of a car. ??? How do you like that nitrous? What system are you using?

Well maybe I just got alittle out of hand.I wouldn't move for the car,but it would be great to be around others who love the rx.. ??? The NOS is something new for me.A friend talked me in to it,and man am I glad! Its a dry shot,15lb bottle made buy nos"holley" direct port into my free flow throttle body,and let me tell you that was a bitch!!! b/c uaually you mount it in your intake inlet duct,but I wanted it to work fast. And believe me it does. Actually you could just ask the guy in the Ls1 vette that knows what an 88T2 10AE looks from behind. thanks for all your help! KID00RX7

You could also try putting the nitrous in through the intake manifold.
