I have some 18x9 +41 wrapped with 245/45 tires. Right now I'm on S-Techs, and will be getting a bit lower. What sort of work would I need done to make it flush?

Did anyone answer your question about your rear feeling like it's bottoming out?

Could even get +20 if he wants a little poke, +15 will be just about flush

And so I took her to Dallas today, a good 400mile round trip, the springs settled about a 1/4 inch up front and a 1/2 inche in the rear.

As for the tires im running what ever my hookup finds me, im just gonna burn em off at Mineral Wells anyways. :P

I have a question though, when I hit bumps somthing bottoms out in the rear but its not the car on the ground its not that low, it makes a clunk sound like the suspension is limited, are there any hidden bump stops I should be aware of?

Edit: the car doesnt have any rake, this is the car setting on a flat surface...

this **** is dope!!!!

Hey Tilt, can you actually put people in the back without it bottoming out or scrubbing all the time?
does it scrub much?
what suspension are you running these days?

While I can't say much for people in the back, I can tell you that under hard driving, I don't have any rubbing with the 10.5 ET18 as shown above. I'd imagine that people in the back shouldn't be much of an issue

Currently on HKS Hipermax RS + Whiteline sways

Does look sick, those rears are going to need a fair amount of work to fit though - looks like the fender is sitting on the shoulder of the tire. Hell yeah, lip for dayz

Finally lower/wider specs than I! lol
