Bill,
Another great "how to" with pictures. You are a great asset to the bulletin board. Thanks my friend.

Lots of fun isn’t it? You want to keep the rubber parts in place and just remove the aluminum spacer. Be very, very careful with that spring compressor, very dangerous stuff.
Almost like being there... glad I missed the jammed fingers! Can't wait to see the new ride height.
I am Done! Did you all notice that my helper and I did this job in 3.5 hours? Went for a quick test ride, nothing scrubs. I also put another shim in my lower rear arm where it mounts to the chassis. I am trying to turn the right rear in toward the front of the car. When I had the alighnment checked he showed me how it pointedaway from the car. I only put a 1/8 shim. My only concern now is the rears may lean in a little. Let me sling it through a couple of hairpins and I'll check it after it settles. Notice the second from last shot...My lower control ars are still not horizonal with the road. So far i like it! I'm going to the Pub and soak my finger in some cold beer. Bill

Looks great and it will settle down a little bit more after you drive it awhile. What are you doing with that wheel spacer in the picture with the complete coilovers? I bet about now, you are very glad that you got rid of the nasty old radiator that was installed in front of the AC condenser.

Is there a difference between the front and rear spring spacers? I have original 15" wheels with 305/15 rears and 245/15 fronts and non-adjustable shocks. With the spacers out both front and back, the rear tires do not have as much clearance as the front tires and I think it looks unbalanced. I am thinking about putting the spacers back in the rears to give it a more consistent space between the tire and the quarter panel compared to the fronts. Any thoughts?

I cleaned up my act in the rear. Made room.. the lower rears are show. Jeff the front is just a bit thinner than rear.
Jeff, I just did it.......let me check it out http://pantera.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/6450045562/m/8690080004
That press picture was a little scary, but the slammed picture is assume!

I've tried that and it still won't open. Either way all I get is a "loading" message.
