"""I'm surprised that 24x9" slicks fit in your wheel wells, because they don't in mine...""""

they stick out about 1/2 an inch,,,,I was told that they were a littel tolerent with FWDs and Ihra dont have a problem,,,its close enough to strike up a good arguement (LOL)

on leaving at an idle,,,,the big issue I have with that is,,,,,Im really on new ground with counting the lites,,,,rite now, If I torque up to 2k and count 1--2--go on 3,,,,,lites are .03-.04,,,,,its nothing to write home about BUT considering Ive been a "see and go bottom bulb" racers for 25 years,,,,this is really something different and Im pleased.....its super easy to practice on the practice tree,,,,,Ive been told by other lite counters that is the place you want to be-----if I torque to 1500,,,its ..06 or worse-----I couldnt imagine what it would be at an ilde---In the beginning. I was hoping to block and leave on the second bulb,,,that netted a

Nope, they're real shocks that one of my friends from the Denver, Co. area modified the lower mounting part of the shocks (bushing change or something like that), to allow it to fit in my stock housing. They were set at 70/30, and I had the option of 90/10 & 50/50.
