looks nice I have not been a big fan of the chrome twists but they look good in contrast to the metalic blue of your 1303. Looks like you might want to bring the ride hight down just a bit. the back looks pretty high as does the front. It will help in the handeling too lowers the CG for the car. Good luck with the project at least yours is on the road.
I did this in photoshop to show you how low i was thinking would look good.

thanks Vincent for the reply. I would eventually like to lower the rear end, but I am still unsure of what my options are and how the process is done. I don't want the rear wheels to have and excessive negative camber like i see on other cars that are lowered in the rear, but a loewr stance would be nice. The front is lowered 2.5 inches with Maxx struts. I was curious to see your picture, but the link did not work.
thanks Kyle |

nice ride. you can get the back down without excessive camber. you mostly will see that on the swing axle bugs. yours being IRS is a little more forgiving.

if you only lower it one spline in the rear you will not have excessive neg camber. You will have a little neg camber (1 to 3 degrees), but it will improve your handling.
Nice wheels

When you say lower the car one spline, do you mean just move the spring plate one outer spline, or move the inner end of the torsion bar one spline also, like the Bently manual describes? How much will one spline lower the rear end? Will the negative camber have any major effect on the wear of the tires? Thanks guys for all of the information.
