Just the cheapies from The Busstop, Spent a while getting them to fit nice, there's a bit of a knack to it.

well there you go, mine are the same, but don't fit nice at all...
'
think i'm gonna get some painted on.
i removed the large bumpstops cause the car was resting on them and there was no movement. replaced them with smaller ones and the front end dropped
another inch..... and i still have a bit of space for bounce!!
however the front tyres do scrub on the guards on a hard turn
take a pic tomorrow when its light and hopefully not raining.

Running 195/65 R15's as seen in my avatar pic. "Supercats", available from Bridgestone tyre centres. I believe they are Bridgestone's generic
brand but the quality seems fine to me, quite cheap too.
I found this link to be extremely useful when comparing sizes...

I have stock rims on my '73 square with 195/60/15 heaps of room to play with and a very comfortable ride...toyo is the brand. Can't post pics at
moment but should be at Dubs by the whatever, for those to have a laugh at...what do you expect for $800? Probably won't lower it at this
point...have just picked up a fasty that would be a prime candidate for the lowering stick...
How many is enough?
