68 Malibu seafrost green,52000 miles,327/powerglide,A/C,KORE3 C5 front discs,18" Rushforth Livewires.In th future I plan on adding SC&C or DSE suspension but for now I'm getting ready to build a house so that'll have to wait.I'm enjoying driving the car right now anyways.

Great looking car. I have a 69 chevelle and have been dying to see how the Rushforths look on this bodystyle. I guess the obvious questions are what size rims and tires and how much did you lower it?

Thanks,I am very happy with my wheel choice. The sizes are 18x8 with 4.75 b.s & 18x10 with 5.75 b.s and the current suspension is all factory with no lowering besides the sagging original springs.To be truthful I hate to update the suspension because the ride is so good right now but I know later on I'll want to carve up the curves so it will be essential.

Man, those rear springs are sagging over 3.5" from stock height! Those suckers have had a lot of use!

Well the sagging springs give it a killer stance. What was your tire sizes?

Very pretty car, not many of us Seafrost guys around! Where did the armrest come from? If that's your original seat, do you have the Buick or Olds interior?

The tires are 245/45 & 285/40.The seat is from a buick and looks like it belongs there.

Sharp car! love the color and stance. Never been a fan of big wheels and rubber band tires but your car pulls it together nicely.

what's that steering wheel out of?
