yah the 215-65-15 are kind of small but they match the 255-60-15 on the back how can i lower it to give it a more racey look( like vintage trans am cars )

your car would handle a lot better, for a lot cheaper thanthe direction you are going in,by just increasing your front tire size. a front tire that small is going to want to roll anytime you put any slight pressure on it by going hard into a corner.
when it comes to handling, a way you can get yourself into trouble, and into an unbalanced set-up is todo a big suspension change to try to improve handling, without first taking care of the smaller and cheaper problems first
just trying to make you think about a few things here first, before you go and spend a bunch of cash on something that isn't really going to help you as much as you think it's going to help

I cant stress enought that you dont want drop spindles.. You will have problems. One with that type of set up u will hit ur rims with ur tir rob. Then ur sterring will be off.

all i got to say is Hotchkis TVS!!! i have it on my 67 camaro and dont have any problemswith it,it was'nt that difficult to put in, you get great handling, you get a lower car and no need to worry about tires rubbing trust, the only thing i can say is that its stiff and thats agood thing yes but going over bumps and railroad track well lets say it aint no caddy haha
