17's or 18's?
I have a 1990 Dodge Shadow ES two door with the 2.5l. I am going to order the body kit for the shadow after I do the one inch drop from eibach, but the question I have is with the body kit and 1" drop, which rim can I squeeze under my car, 17" or 18"?

RE: 17's or 18's?
I think you would only be able to fit 17's on it. Im not positive on that but with the stock 14's on the front my left front tire rubs when i turn. I soppose its possible you can fit 18's but myself I dont see it happening. Go to bell tire or discount and ask what your car can fit upto without having any problems, they should know. When you do find out tho post on here so that I know what i can fit on my 93 too

Looks like a good start. Not bad for a 93. The only thing I don't like about older dodge's are the fact that they peel paint like no tommorow. I got a guy doing custom paint to my car hopefully this summer. Keep me posted on your mods.

Yea I know the paint sucks all the dodges painted this color 
which body kit are you thinkin about getting? so far I have found 2 of them post a link of the one you are thinkin about getting. The only thing I am thinking about buying is the side kit but i might have to get a stock one from the junk yard, seeings there arent many online.

The body kit i'm getting is http://store1.yimg.com/I/spoilers4less_1831_13566202 . It looks better than the other one. The other one dosn't really give it a sporty look. All I need to do now is find a supercharger for the motor. I'm not to big on turbos. I don't like the lag. I want that direct power.

If you get a small turbo you won't have much if any turbo response issues since they spool up really quick. The SRT-4's turbo is on the small side which is why it spools up right away, my Shelby Z took a bit more to spool up with it's larger turbo.
