Hey wurd2.....Looks like ya got 315's on the back with the car lowered. Have you had any problems with the fenders rubbing the tires when you hit a big bump or corner real hard? My BFG 315's sit under the fender lip, but not inside of it. From the pics, yours look to be about the same. I'd like to lower my car also and was wondering if you could give me some info on what springs and other parts you used, and If you have any problems with it at all? .....Thanks, I really like the way your car sits!
 
red302, I do have a minor rubbing issue in the rear when I drive quickly over bumps or into driveways at an angle. One time I did find a tiny bit of rubber on the fender lip, and I think it actually happened on a shift into 2nd gear. I could not find any evidence of damage on the tire though. I thought that was odd. I wonder if I picked something up on the road, although I doubt that.

This has only happened once, and it was a long time ago. I drive my car hard, and corner hard. So it doesn't make too much sense to me.

What you might do is get yourself some Maximum Motorsports LCA's which allow you to adjust the rear ride-height of your car. These are probably the best LCA's you can get. They really plant the power to the ground. They are a huge improvement over the stockers too:

hey hotrodnut, those are the same rims i'm thinking about putting on a black mach but not sure how'd they'd look. but i'm going 17x9's all around

That should look great! I'm not sure the offset I have for the 9s would work on the front. The wheels add the 1" wider than stock (9" vs 8") to the outside.

I think they do have them in a couple different offsets though. :shrug:
