i am going to go pull the tortion bars right now and see what they weigh and get some measurements for coil overs.

you can get any size and bs you want if you spend the money. lots of money. here is an example. http://www.billetspecialties.com/ite...scid=17&pid=10
with those i could get some 16x7's for the front with a tallish not too wide radial and some 15x10's with whatever back spaceing i wanted.
