Steve,
Did you change anything with the rear upper mounts, and can I run the stock mount with the AD's? Springs are 2.5" X 8" front and back, is that right? I'm looking around locally for my springs and wanted to make sure. Still no struts. Maybe by Christmas!

I'm using the ShigSpeed mounts in the rear. They're a perfect fit for the ADs. You can use the stock mounts if you wish, however, you'll need to widen the hole to about 3/4". I really think the ShigSpeed mounts are the way to go.

I'm using 2.5" x 7" ERS's on all four corners. They're also using sevens on the Kojima/Paule SE-R cup car. Seven inches is just about perfect on the rear; on the front you could go seven or eight. This is with about 2" of travel in the front; 3+" in the rear.

Be prepared... your car will sit low and you won't be able to raise it more than a couple inches off the bump stops in the front because of the shortened strut.

Where did you pick up the ShigSpeed mounts, I hadn't heard of them yet? Maybe you told me this before but can you still run a 205x50x15 with the car this low? Have you rolled the frnders?

Thanks for all the help!

I'm running 195/60/14 on 14x6 for the street and 205/55/14 on 14x7 on the track and autocross. I'm looking at getting 15 inch rims for the street sometime... it will be a tight fit and I *might* have to roll the rear fenders. The front with 15 inch rims should be fine.
