Front suspension - 1 1/2 " lowering springs from Eaton Detroit. On front removed 14" Baer brakes and replaced with stock rotor and calibers, 15 x 5 Race Star rims with 26 x 4.5 Hoosier drag fronts: rear suspension - took out air suspension and replaced with 3" x 12", 200# coil springs; replaced shocks with Strange single adjustable Mustang shocks. Rim is Weld 15 x 8 w/ 6 1/2 b.s. and Hoosier 29 x 9 slicks. With some fine tuning looking to do 10.3 - 10.5 in cool weather.

Looking good. So I'm guessing you won't call it purple panther anymore? (after new paint?) ;)
