Really? well a 70-73 suspension, especially "lowered" and stiffer, is NOT made to absorb the road shock that a Macpherson Strut can. That said, a 18 inch tire with no sidewall that may handle good, gives away ride comfort. ( IF under the age of 45, please disregard this, you just wouldnt understand)

How could my remark been taken as anything other than opinion? And certainly am entitled, just as anyone, and others such as yourself have exercised. And that's the point of my post for the most part. Pretty much all I have to say on this topic....

Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing you virginity, all in about 8 seconds.

Put yours on Photbucket and create and account then you copy and paste from the album to PY,,,
I need to see the actual heading on the pic in Photbucket I believe its the lowest heading ( a drop menu appears below the pic in your album when u put your cursor over it )to give you the exact details on how to do it but pretty easy....Hell I can do it...lol

This car is just a driver, a "fun" car, and was built from about 10 cars. Nothing is correct, but its all bolt on! LOL.It was built to cruise, not drag race or tire destruction. Its not finished yet but getting there.
