i allready have the drop ... I don't think it will rub but i was wonderin if anyone else had tried it? It'll look hella sweet if it works ... even if houston streets make it cry ... I drive slow anyway

don't turn left or right and you'll be fine

haha yup. with 3.5", you'll have to cut out the wheel well so you can turn. i dont think you'll rub, but your camber and tires will be f*cked. dont do it if you plan on driving your car a lot.

well damn, whats like the most i could possibly do?

on the rear wheel well you'd have to cut away at the lip to get an extra inch of clearance, i'd guess close to a 3 inch drop for daily driving

this is 2.25 inches, 205/45/17

i had a 3.5 drop and because of it i went with 16's. i raised the front a little just to be on the safe side, and also because i got 205/55, the tires were a little to beefy

you sure thats 2.25"? heres my ride on B+G's at 2.25". the tires tuck in about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch.

2.75" or a little before 3". you will have to cut the wheel well at around 3" and roll the rear fenders

your tires are tucked cause your running a higher profile tire where as my tires are 45 compared to stock which is 75

 
Rep Power: 0

i like how both of those look, so yea I guess i'll go with like a 2.75. Any of y'all know where i can get it CHEAP?

no, that wouldn't matter; if anything your tires would tuck even more for being larger than stock in diameter. Do you have springs or coils?

 
Rep Power: 0

dudes if you can find some hella cheap coil overs i would appreciate it. I guess ajustable, i got 215/40-17s and want a nice sized drop ya know

 
Rep Power: 0

actually, 205/45/17 are pretty close to my stock tire diameter. which is 185/65/17, NOT 75 like you thought. if you dont believe me, check out the tire calculator. if i put your rims/tires on my ride, i will rub.

it seems like your ride is 2" in the front and 2'25" in the rear. mine are 2.25" all the way around

cryption, what's the width of your rims? if they're 17x7, then you would be fine with a 2.75" drop (with no rubbing). if you have a 17x7.5 width rim, then 215 tires might be too wide and you might rub.

are you planning on getting full coilovers or sleeved? if you want full, get B+G's or tein, but they cost at around 1000. if you just want sleeved, get ground control or skunk2. note that you would also need new shocks, especially with that low of a drop.

i have tein ss coils

 
Rep Power: 0

that's true they are close to the same diameter overall, i have tein ss coils and the front is as low as it can go and the rear is set as close to the front as possible otherwise if it was as low as it could go then the rear always sagged.

 
Rep Power: 0

thats why it looks high, i think teins can only give a 2" drop all around. i have B+G coilovers, same with mex

 
Rep Power: 318

actually in the rear TEINs can go like 3" i think. it's just the fronts that cant be slammed I'm lovin my B+Gs

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah, thats the only thing about tein ss...



but anyways .. your front tires will tuck but will not rub cryption ...
those are my springs ... why didn't u ask me !
