Drop question???
 
Ok guys i really need ur help for this one........if i drop my car 2 inches all around will i scrape?????:confused:....thx for the help and my rims are 17' just in case :D

Scrape how?? i was just lowered about 4-4.5" and i scraped but only my front lip....i had 17's as well i'm pretty sure your in the clear......

Scrape how and what? Or do you mean rubbing of the tires? It depends on the driving conditions, how you drive, your rim width and offset, tire size, etc. If you could be more specific with your question, that would help us answer it better.

ya i meant rub my bad......sexima ur car looks sick bro:thumbsup:.....and my tire size is 235/45 17 all around

jonnypax09 03-17-2010 09:42 AM

i would assume bottoming out? like puppetmaster said it really depends how you drive and the conditions but with the stock rims you shouldn't rub in the wheel wells unless there's a lot of weight...ide say your good

MIKE323 03-17-2010 09:45 AM

mike i have sprints with illuminas and those are about as low as springs will go minus putting on coilovers. I also have the rears spaced out about 12mm on each side and i dont rub on turns, bumps or anything. Oh the spints are a 2" drop as well

MIKE323 03-17-2010 12:19 PM

oo thx jeff ur really helped........i want to get spacers to so it gives it a more of a aggresive look :)

MIKE323 03-17-2010 12:28 PM

Has anyone heard about ksport gt lowering springs????are they good or what?

jeff5347 03-17-2010 01:45 PM

mike, some things to think of after or before. Once you lower the max the rear will need to be recentered. there are a few posts that go in depth on it. Mine didnt "recenter" but it did take the bind out of the axle bushing. Once that is done then just measure the distance from the tire to the fender and take that number and subtract 2-3 mm out of it and then thats the size spacer to get.

ok thx i will :)
