Thanks Lin:
  
 Is that your car on his web site?  Is that a blower in the boot?

Al,
At the time the photos were taken I had Michelin 175 ZX 15s installed. I ha=
d to move both buffer blocks in the boot and I could not fold the original =
support rod. Steve Thomton's gas strut worked for the 175's without any con=
flict. I now have Michelin XAS 180HR15 tires on the car, but I went with a =
smaller spare.
