Just for future reference, what is the offset of those 15x7 wheels? So the offset questions will have a visual aid to compare how wide the wheels are to the body lines. Thanks. Keep it up!

the coilovers are ground control #4525.01 for 88-91 crx the wheels are minilite 15X7 -6 offset I have 205-50 tires but they are too large I have 194 -45 on order they should clear better and lower the car. I have 13X8 +4 offset rota rbs' w/215 -50 for autocross they clear fine and also look great. The front sway bar is stock cvcc I have a larger one but I not sure if i am going to use it. The mirrors are SPA formula style on truechoice motorsports web site. If I can get the car ready I will be at VMP in Petersburg on 1-20- 08. As you can see I am still looking for 78 79 cvcc head lite bezels I need to make camber plates for the front and design a way to adjust the rear camber I have a rear sway bar but havent installed it yet.

Interesting! There is one on my 77 CVCC wagon but not on my 78 CVCC hatch project car ??? That's what prompted my question. :?

And thanks for the mirror source. :)

Can u go into more detail about the mods required for the suspension. To date, this seems like the best suspension solution that I have found on the board -- short of custom shocks and springs.
