I'll answer you here instead of the e-mail.

My '94 is lowered 6/8. Spindles and springs in the front and a flipkit and shackles in the rear. If this is your daily driver...stick w/ a 5/7 drop using the same set-up. Also, get helper bags for the rear.

Rims....front 17 X 8 w/ 245/45/17 and 17 X 10 w/ 275/40/17's in the back. Not sure on the backspace, i ordered them 10 years ago.

And.....stick w/ DJM or Bell Tech lowering parts.
