Found an old pic of my 86' September 10, 2007, 04:57:31 PM I was going thru some old mm&ff magazines the other day and found one of my old pics of the bird. This was taken right after I completed the LSC suspension swap. Quote Selected

Found an old pic of my 86' Reply #2 – September 10, 2007, 05:13:55 PM No air ride, just the rear axle, front spindles and rotors/brakes. The wheels are from a 88' Mistu Conquest/Dodge Starion. 16X8s & 16X9s.The rear suspension has since been changed to a 03' Cobra IRS setup. Quote Selected

Same bolt pattern :Dcougrrr302, the most recent pics are in my cardomain pages.

I've got a Mark VIII irs just lying about and though I know it'd be too wide... I still get dumb ideas. Quote Selected
Found an old pic of my 86' Reply #8 – September 10, 2007, 06:18:50 PM The MKVIII IRS is a different type of setup all together. The Cobra IRS almost bolts right in. Sorry :( No numbers available. Quote Selected

Found an old pic of my 86' Reply #13 – September 10, 2007, 10:32:41 PM i want those wheels for my lincoln! im gonna have to search for some. I have access to a milling machine so i can mill them. Quote Selected
Found an old pic of my 86' Reply #14 – September 10, 2007, 10:47:33 PM daboss351, you have to be carefull when milling the centers out. My friend and I almost cut thru where the center sticks out. Unless, of course you cut them off and then center some spinners or center caps and screw them on. Oh ya, good luck finding a good set of those wheels. I had 1 that was dented, 2 that were curb scratched and 1 was ok. I found a set of them here in IL and I got 1 16x7 2 16x8 and only 1 16x9. I was trying for 4 16x9s, oh well. Good luck finding them thoughJohnP.S. I do have a set of space savers that I can put on my car until I get the wheels I want :evilgrin: and you can get mine from me :D Quote Selected
