I can give you a 'sample washer' you will need, to make it all work. Not that tough. Sean @ Rallitek helped me figure it out...

If you have a sedan the Pro Drive and SWIFT! are equal. If you have a wagon, SWIFT! is the way to go (wagon specific!).

Thanks for the information.
Can you post up a pict of the washers needed for preoper spacing?

Where did you get your springs from? and how much did you end up spending?

The picts look great. That is basically what I am looking for.
Did you loose some of that huge wheel gap on the fronts?
