  1. That's right. I just drilled two extra holes per wheel and countersunk them to 60 degrees.
  2. Thanks Carl. I think I have a spare pair of the cheap ebay coilovers I can throw on the front just to see how it looks.
  3. Yeah, that's what I don't like about those sleeve-style is the lack of travel. I think I would have to do a five lug swap to use the combo style coilover.
  4. I should specify that I am looking at the add-on sleeve type coilover and not the strut/spring combination.
  5. Hey Thanks. I was definately wanting to stay with something directional because I think that directional look best with this body style. After those photos I spent two weeks refinishing them, but if I took more photos they wouldn't look any different than in these photos . Except up close they look waayyyyy better. There were some bad oxidation spots from past wheel weights so I went nuts. They are 16x7 with 45 mm offset. I just have stock XT suspension w/ FWD struts. The rims on my Outback(For Sale BTW) are from a Neon SRT-4 and are 17x6 with 45 mm offset and fit very nicely with 205/50-17s.
  6. Has anyone used these to lower an EA car? I just put some Suburban rims on my XT and the fit is amazing. The rims are 16 x 7 and fits inside and outside perfect. Car can be slammed. I just want to go down about another inch from the FWD suspension. I've used the cheapo Honda coilovers in the past with mixed results. These don't appear much different, but anyone know anything about the Skunk2's? http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/aljezulu/media/redstuff005_zps97d17e5f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1
  7. Mine is 4WD, but I got 2WD struts for the fronts to lower it 2" or so. They were $43 from Rockauto. I got 2WD for the back and it raised it 1", to my surprise. They were $40 on ebay.
  8. I just got a set of Gabriels for about $80 all the way around for my 89 XT . They seem fine, night and day over what was on there.
