Today I picked up new rear struts to use for my rear coil over build.
You may remember, I originally cut stock springs and modified the spring perch to fit 245's, but of course I would like to improve handling, slightly raise the car and fit wider meats in there, so I am collecting parts to make my own.
Koni wasn't in my budget plans and I have new KYB's up front, but this time I decided to try Monroe Sensatracs as donors to modify for rear coilovers.
Before I start, I would like some assurance I bought the right ones:
...cause I know the lifetime warranty won't cover the removal of the spring perch 
Next I need to find out where to get the rest of the stuff, sleeves and springs etc.
I am thinking that the heavy LT1/4T60 combo deserves a fairly heavy spring (350-400lbs) - sound right?
I also read in other threads that 12" length is the best choice, agreed?

Here's are my current fav rims - HP RACING EVO (Hyperblack)
Hoping I can make them fit with rear coilovers and modifying ride height and fender flares if necessary.
They come 5x100mm pattern and +38mm offset.
I would probably buy tires locally but sample package I like would be:
Rim sizes : 19 x 8.5(Front) +19x9.5(Rear)
Tire sizes :235/35/19(Front) + 275/30/19(Rear)

Those are a very nice wheel. I have a set (not on my fiero) and I think they look even better in person.
