People with 19's or 8.5 that have lowered please help

Car got droped today about 21/2 finger gap in back and 11/2 in front my question is more concerned with front. It's mad low will it hit on big bumps like is my tire gonna scrape the plastic walls or anything else under there or will the springs and struts keep it away? My setup is sprints /kybs


Also for people with kybs where is the ajustable *** i cant see it just looking do i need to raise the car up or something and will a softer setting cause it to run or doesnt it matter thanks

19 X 8.5

I have 19 X 8.5's 235/35-19 tires with an Eibach 1.5" drop. No probs in the front with rubbing. My allignment get knocked out quite a bit. Driving through D.C. isn't 19" friendly. My front sits level with my rear. The Eibach front springs are .25" shorter. I'd like to go 2" but my ride is pretty rough already. Let me know how yours rides. What size are your tires? My rear wheel were specially drilled and I use about a 10mm spacer with special lug nuts. My back wheels come out a little farther than the front. It sits nice. A lot of Gen 4's I've seen have the fronts coming out farther than the back because of the FWD.

If you want to get rid of the bounce, try tightening up the shocks.
