I too ordered the Super Suspension Kit from Laurel Mountain Mustangs, with the 5-spring leaf packs and 1" lowered front coils.
I know that my old leafs were probably really tired, but when I installed the new ones, the rear end shot up an additional 2"-2.5" - and that's without shocks at all (still working on my upper shock mounts). Of course, stuffing the new shocks in there with the old leaf springs still in-place did the same thing. As well, I'm missing most of the sheet metal that comprises the trunk, and there is a lot of weight missing from my car because of everything that's been removed.
I have no idea if the front is going to sit where I want it because currently, the engine and transmission are not in the car. I guess "we'll see" when that time comes.
My plan is for 235/60-R15s on 15x7s up front, and 275/60-R15s with 15x8s out back - maybe even go up to 295/50-R15s... but I'm also wanting BFG T/As, and finding 50-series tires might be tough.
