I 'm about to order my skunk2 coilovers and a camber kit I was just wondering with 215/35/18x7.5 wheel and tire combo (45 offset). How low could I go without rubbing

Do you have stock shocks? If you do, I wouldn't recommend you to go too low.

Yeah I have stock shocks. I want it to be that there is no gap front and rear. I do want it tucking or anything like that. Would I atleast get a year outa those stock shocks with it lowered like that

i dont think you would. i had a 1.5" drop on stock shocks and they blew in less then a year.

I have Neuspeed Race springs and my rear shox lasted oh... about a WEEK!!! Granted it was a big drop, but still....don't count on the stockies!!!

you can go pretty low, probably 2.75". I was at 2.25" with my 215-40-18s. but ya dont expect your shocks to last anywhere near a year with it that low. I would bottom out all the time with a 2.25" drop on stock shocks. We just dont have that much suspension travel up front to drop it that low with full length shocks.

how do you know when your shocks go bad

When your car wont stop bouncing. When you see oil around your shocks

when you hear the annoying *squeak squeak* coming from yuor suspension except when you are parked.

I went down three inches in the front and my shocks blew after I drove it for a mile. There is absolutely no give on the setup at the front of the car so every little bump in the road I feel with a bounce.

Mine lasted about 2 weeks before they went.. Im at about 2.5-2.75"

heres the deal... on stock shocks!!! u cnat go (no gap) becasue w/ no gap u dont have much room for dampening. if u hit a bump ur wheels will go in wells and rub... while turning the bodyroll and soft shocks will allow the wheel to hit the front fender and it'l sound really bad id go 1.75" drop max! otherwise ur gonan rub like a fat ***** thru a turnstyle.lol. get stiffer shocks and u can drop upo to 3.5" like myself. if u want some true coilovers for 600$ shipped pm me and i'll tell you how to get some.
