[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16426548, member: 195778"] I don't think I have any good pics handy at the moment, but I can certainly take some when I get home from work. I'll double check in a bit and see what I've got for now. I'm one of the few who didn't think the 888's were quite so spectacular. Granted when I had them, I was making somewhere in the 540's for power and had 4.10 gears. I could break them loose at will unless it was 80+ degrees out. Now with the TQ's, 70 more rwhp, and 3.55's, I certainly can't go crazy in first gear, but I've got the majority of second back. Some spin from 40mph, but they just scream and fight while still grabbing enough to pick up speed. I generally don't just stomp it anyway; I roll into it which also helps the power delivery. I run them at about 25psi and haven't noticed any kind of sway at any speed. I think you'll need the low profile bolts if you decide to go with a 305 and especially a 315. The tires rub the IRS frame/cradle when I lift up the rear of the car, but square up nicely when it's on the ground. There's quite a few differing experiences when it comes to this, however. Some folks need a spacer on one or both sides, some don't need anything at all. The bolts are cheap, easy, and give you a c-hair more clearance which might be all you need. The last thing you want is the head of the stock IRS bolt(s) digging into the inside of the tire(s) as the suspension travels. [/QUOTE]
