Hi all,

 I am going to be purchasing a shock spring combo as
well as tires for my 82 GL Diesel conversion soon.

 I'm looking to lower the van, about 3 or so inches
lower than the carat style springs, I have 16x8"
lorinser rims with an offset (et)of 22...

I'm looking to go a bit taller than stock rolling
diameter, at least in the rear, and maybe a little
smaller in the ft.

does anyone have any real world experience with
performance setups like this?

 it's pretty common in Europe, and that's the look I'm
going after.

kind of like one of these...
