Im feeling that it may have to do with the wheel/tire combo I currently have. So I will be getting some lug nuts to install the set of Pony's I have to see exactly if its the wheels/tires currently on the car.

I'll tell you what though, You hear every bump out back with full poly bushings!! LOL!

The tires on my car are abnormally small in diameter. Its very easy to spin them.

This is a picture of my car the day I decided to get it.

Re: 4cyl springs??

I made sure I put the pony's on today just so I could make this post in a timely manner.

With the wheel/tire combo above it drove like poop.

But with the pony's she drives GREAT! I was conversating with a couple of buddies who both own Fox bodies, And we are kind of scratching our heads about the rear spings now.
I know the fronts are 4 cyl. springs for certain. But we do not know "exactly" whats in the rear. When you look at a spring thats "old" they will be rusty (esspecially how rusty my car is) but my rear springs were like new. I mean VERY new.

I had a set of V8 springs I was going to put in but decided to re-use the ones that were in there, Due to the car that I got the V8 rear springs from had 130K miles on it. And those springs were orginal to the car.

But Im going on record. I see no problem at all in the ride with 4 cyl springs. I do have GT front and rear sway bars.
