Car looks great. Wrong tire size and wheel offset though. Running a stiffer spring may help, but probably not as much as you'd think. You'd have to get pretty stiff and you'd notice it everywhere....

I think if it's just one leaf out of the pack, and especially one of the middle leafs, I'd certainly see if it can be salved. That may be the best case.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
