Well I got around to taking some pics of the car with the front lowered. I put on a set of Koni shocks and used Street Dreams 2" spindles. I really like the ride, the konis stiffened things up a bit, and the lower stance seems to kinda 'tighten' up the front. Maybe just from the shocks though, as the stock ones were shot.

Two fingers don't quiiiite fit.

Also, notice how high the rotor looks compared to the upper control arm..

Also keep in mind there is that black strip 'dam' under the car. It likes to scrape everytime I slam the brakes and the nose dives (stock springs). I think once I do the back that should pretty much be leveled out though. I have a set of coilovers I'm pondering using, however I'll probably save those for my project car with the koni, and throw on a set of KYB with cut springs to make due for now. After all, this is supposed to be my winter car. Oh well..

Looking good! I've got those spindles too. Are you going to lower the rear with springs or go coilovers?

Hey, is that another Fiero with a shortened front end just behind your Fiero?

I would really like some details on this, especially if it will fit a 2.5 duke

Funny thing about the CRX is that the roofline is almost exactly the same. I always bug my sister (about her CRXs) that deep down she really wants a fiero. lol.

The combo is of a 16" rim and 205/45r16 I believe.

Heres to my post about the intake.. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/020116.html

That's it! I've been trying to figure out which car it was. I remember someone saying that, but couldn't remember the car. Thanks!
Now I just have to figure out where to get one
