    Looks GREAT! Very tasteful. One of the nicest Bonnevilles I have seen.

    I just hate the front bumpers on those. A GXP bumper would be a big improvement! Something about how the stock bumper flows with the fog lights just drives me crazy

    LOL you think that any company is going to support a Bonneville....good one. They are Eibachs that are for another platform with Bonneville GXP struts

    ground control coilovers produce a coilover sleeve that is universal. you can put it on whatever you want. eibachs look good, though.

    how are you with rubbing with those 275s?

    Understood..Wrong use of terms however, i dont have a strut in the rear, only a coil spring and a Air Assisted shock

    and there is NO rubbing at all with the 275, Remember the Bonneville is much different than a W body

    well i agree that it is much different, bigger tires normally mean more likelihood to rub. however, you're still on a pretty high offset, so i can see that working fine.
