Interesting. How wide are your wheels?
Here's an old photo of my lowered '84 with 225/50/16 tires all around. The wheel offset is 38mm... basically perfect for a 16x7 wheel on an '84-'87 Fiero. (The optimal wheel width and offset for an '88 is a bit more convoluted due to the wider front hubs.)

My wheels are 16 x 7......I am running 205/55 up front and 225/55 rear.
I like yours...The rear spoiler is what I was thinking of before I changed the rear to 86-88 GT bodywork.

Thanks. Yeah, I liked the fact that this rear spoiler was so subtle. I find the factory wing to be a bit overkill. When I got my Formula, I swapped over the rear decklid from the '84, spoiler and all.

i'm going to make some spacers from 3/8 steel. Same I.D. and O.D. as the spring that are in there at the moment. Near as I can tell replacement springs are not available. I called Eaton Springs, and asked if they had Fiero springs. He did not even have to look. No, sorry. No demand. He was a very nice gentle man and was interested in the Fiero story but there was simply no demand.
They could custom build any spring I wanted for around $2,500.
