The clearance cut off isn't the suspension itself, but a wall between the shock body/spring and the wheel itself.
You can see I had some scraping, though I had believed it was only occurred when angling up large inclines (i.e. steep *** driveways). Must have somehow touched while on the highway which in turn forced the entire weight of the car to that one point on the barrel.
My biggest turnoff here isn't repairing/replacing the barrel, but having the swap out my rear studs with extended studs to allow for some thicker spacer action. Won't be fun, but you've gotta pay to play

20x10.5 is likely not going to fit with that suspension setup. coils and lots of camber will be needed unless the offset is really high.

okay time for wider wheels (slightly) just got fenders properly rolled what to do with front fender liner? I had a portion of rear cut out rolled it up on the curb and with mad camber I'm pretty sure I can tuck rim on my 18x9.5 battles (not going that low) but anyways feed back is needed.
P.S. if you need a good rollin hit up tony in San Fernando (for us california people. he was at 7stock doing fenders hes pretty good.)

In the rear, I only cut a small piece of the liner where the read bumper tab is.

Munchy - Not exactly. What size tire were you planning to run?
Looks like I'm going to end up running 19x11.5 ET21 w/275/30/19 Falken FK452's. Much less functional than I would like, generally speaking, but the look should be well executed and match the styling of the wheels. May just ditch these after Wekfest SF, but we'll see.
Anyone here have plans for changes in the near future?
