Re: 71 Turquoise Goon
Yeah dude, so nice. I like the lighter in color wheel too. Maybe its just because its different than what I had before though.

Re: 71 Turquoise Goon
In upgrading to coilovers soon, I'll be able to really find the sweet spot/spring rate. It handles so much nicer with this wheel & tire situation. hayl yeahhh

Re: 71 Turquoise Goon
I like the look. Waaay better wheels. Might be even better if you drop the grille badge below the center bar.Skeletonbonez wrote:heres how she sits today. Now to fine tune the ride height.
When the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a hippy.

Re: 71 Turquoise Goon
I've thought about moving the badge down, but it never seems to be enough of a priority to pull my grille to move it. lol..
Today I copped a set of 210 strut tops. Time to see what it's going to take to fit them into place. Looks about 1/4" bigger than 510 tops and about an inch upwards comparability(lowering the front by an inch). Cameras dead... photos to come soon

Be interested in seeing for sure.
If it corrects camber(like some of the 710 top hats did) would be another great source
