I will have to weigh the car when I get done to see where I am at. I cant even set it on the ground yet as I am waiting for my new valve stems to arrive from evilbay to mount the rear tires. I ended up getting different backspace wheels so the rear disc conversion would fit and not require me to machine the rear of the other 17x8 wheels for the rotor hat thickness. I removed the wheel well braces to make room for the rear calipers to move up and down in the wheel well, the rotors pushed the other original 17x8 wheels out a bit and would of interfered with fenderlip and I want to run the car low, with tire well up above and inside the quarterpanel lip. So, I machined off .085" off the rotor hat face but was still too thick with previous wheels and fenderlip clearance. I found a set of wheels on evilbay with the perfect backspace, It was splitting hairs on the amount(.128"), but it will keep the tires from rubbing both the inside of the wheel well and the fenderlip, its exactly centered side to side now in the wheel well. I will keep your spring numbers in mind and work from there, thanks for info on your rear springs.
