I might want to pick up a 91-96 carpice or impala for the next project, either laying body on 24's or just bagged on 26's. are there any build logs of these things out there? or even pictures of suspension setups??

Unless the hood and fenders are going to be raised 4+ inches, I don't think you will find one layin body on 24's in the front. It's damn near impossible to lay body on a 20 in the front.

My car was doored on 18s an the tires rubbed the under side of the hood.  I might have been able to squeeze a 20 with a tiny tire, but it still would have rubbed. (stock sheetmetal)
