Freshmeat, your rear springs have double pigtail, so you can't fit Panther front springs in the rear. You'd be much better of by just getting some springs with the same diameter and rate, but with with a shorter loaded length - go to Advance and ask them to look at their springs catalog, chances are there will be something that fits your needs. But with lowered suspension the car might start dragging the rear bumper on the ground when entering steep driveways, so if it was me I'd just go straight ahead for the air ride.

I just ordered a set of Cragar Black Soft 8 wheels (15x7, 4" of backspace) for my Ranger 4x4. Don't you want a lighter wheel for your car? I was going to get the chrome ones, but the way the road salt eats everything it comes in contact with up here in Massachusetts, I went with black. They start to rust, knock it off with a wirebrush and spray it black. I want the lightest, strongest, street-legal wheels available for my GM. This car won't be driven during the winter.

The 15x7 was $38-39 each at Summitracing.com . I just saw a TV commercial today for Jegs and they offer free shipping. I think I paid $9 for shipping at Summit. I want to cancel and order from Jegs. Weigh one of the wheels when you get them. I'll weigh one of my 15x7s. Lighter weight wheels are easier to accelerate and stop. Your car will be quicker.
I was a Chevrolet guy in the mid 90s and I remember a 16x8 IROC-Z wheel weighed in more than a Weld 15x8 wheel. I don't remember the exact numbers right now.
