just traded a ricer (integra) for this 77 comet and couldn't be happier. its got all matching # 302 with a c4 tranny all just rebuilt and 168k on the rest of the car. i want to get new rims wider on the back manly any one that could help me with a size that would fit would be helping me out a lot, i want 15x8 or 10 not sure tho and where could i get some shackles to raise the back?
from Northeast Pennsylvania Nice Comet - you could add a leaf spring to each side to give the rear some extra height
Welcome to the board. Do a search on the shackles on here. They seem to be a week spot and eventually go through the trunk floor. Better the air bags or new springs if needed.
thanks for the info ill look into that more and possibly air shocks (how much harder is the ride with them?)
Welcome from the great NW. I like the magnum 500 wheels. Nice looking car. I just restored a set of those wheels but I need a set of the center caps.
from the sticker patch. Stay away from air shocks!!! i have a very ugly hole in the trunk area from the previous owners attempt to use those. best bet is new springs. someone in KS. is making them.
yeah i only have 2 of my caps and i like the rims but i want wider on the back. thanks ill look into new springs looks like the only option without damaging anything plus i already got a broken top mount for my shocks and have already welded it once.
to the board.... Stay away from the shackles & air shocks. I had my leaf springs rearched & added a 4th leaf. Best thing I ever did...
Welcome to the board, from eastern N.C. Take these guys advice on the shackles and the air-shocks. Very nice looking car, even if it is a Comet.
