i just ordered a set of ground control / koni setup coilovers. i got my spring rates set at circuit / street driving. none the less i have a set of of 16 inch slips sitting downstairs. the car is sitting stock as of now. i bent the taps inside on the rear, flattened them. im wondering if im gunna have to worry about the tires hitting the wheel housings when i turn ? what can i do to prevent this or do i have to evenm worry ?

 

i have some free time now to use the sawzall so someone please reply id really appreciate it
thankss

 

how low are you trying to go

 

Lessee.
You you don't mention the spring rates, how low you are trying to get or your tire and wheel specs and we're supposed to just figure out your problem?

This
"i got my spring rates set at circuit / street driving"
doesn't mean anything. We need numbers. Example; 450 front 350 rear.

And this
"16 inch slips"
is incomplete information.

 

^ nailed it

even then, we might be off op. op, just wait until your suspension gets here and test it out in the driveway.

 

What is your suspension and wheel setup? Why is this info not given, it's pretty important. Actually all the info we need.

 

 

im gunna get 16 in slips and i think 7.5 or 7 wide. i wanna go as low as possible to b honest. the spring ratest are i believe 350 front 380 rear if im correct. sorry about not giving the info lol. and i also neeed to know what size tires i should get. that would help asweell. i work at mavis discount tire, althgouh when it comes to all this stuff and mods you guys are the pros ahha. i want the side walls to b in the 40 or 45 range. ( of the width of the tire ) thanks for thre help guys i really appreciate it sorry about the lack of info aha

also. i read the , you dont need camber kits thread. what i got out of it is that on my car a i might have a problem with the rear upper a arm,... i plan on aligning the car as soon aseverything is installed, but i really dont know what do in tat matter. being said with the 16 inch rims, how low should i go? should i take off the front fender linners? and should i get a camber kit or just have my tow adjusted.?? thanksfor all the hellp guys

 

so just adjust toe im guessing? how about a little help with tire sizing. i was thinking 205 45 16 .. some input would be appreaciated

 

205/45/16 is the correct size tire for you. And 350/380 is really soft for "as low as possible."

My car is by no means slammed, on 350/350 and it's WAY too soft for daily driving at the ride height I've got. The suspension travel is honestly too much to make the car comfortable to daily drive. You should really have 450-550 front rates if you're going to be slamming it.

 

GREAT TO HERE! im not to possotive on the springs rates but i know its in the high threes. what im mostly worried about is the camber, and if im going to hit the strut..also if 7.0 or 7.5 is to wide of a rim . thanks for the advice. anyone have some info on my questons?? help is much appreciated . i need to buy wheels and tires asap. im just not trying to drag myself into a mess. id rather kno everything before i puill the triigger. should i grab rear camber kits? front ? none at all . ???

 

dont know to ,uch about offset either. i wanna get 16x7 slipstreams, but dont know what offset i should get.
