can you take pics of your under carraige so i can see any damaage from the effects of lowering the vehicle

it would help if you have 17" rims

and tenzo Rs

 

okie dokie, i have a lowered car on eibach sportlines (if that helps). i had 18's all the way around and it rubbed a teeny itty bitty bit in the right front. now i have my stock 17's for just a little while, it wont rub period, it wont. i even had extra large tires and it doesnt. no damage ever, the only thing i ever worry about is sidewalks for the front bumper. it scrapes a lot since its lower, but that can be fixed by not pulling in the parking spot all the way. speed bumps arent even that bad. trust me, its a great mod and looks sick

 

What was your tire size on the 18's? I have 225/40/18 and no rubbing on sportlines.

 

225 45 18; i think its because i smacked a sign and had to get a new bumper and some stuff got messed up in the front

 

I'm lowered on Sportlines with 18's and the only part that ever rubs is the resonator on my Magnaflow catback.....it hardly ever happens, and it's only slight.

 

so if i have stock everything and tenzo r's i wont scrape right....on 215 45 17s

 

You shouldn't, no. And if you do in extreme cases, it will only be very lightly.

 

235/40/18 kdw's 2's

 

can u take some of the botom of there

 

well im an ion redline w/ like a 2 inch + drop (springs dropped alot more then site said, meh looks good :P) once you get lowered, take any big driveway, entrance, speedbump/hump all at an angle so your wheels do not both hit the same object at the same time and you will be fine. my roomates stock height 94 intrepid (like 6-7 inches from ground) bottoms out the front end everytime on the driveway, i take it at an angle w/ like 2-3 inches off the ground, and im fine.

my biggest problem w/ the lowered car is potholes, and deep sewers, just watch out or ull blow a strut/shock or something. just be careful and pay more attention to the road, if you see a pot hole avoid it ... lol and ull be fine.

 

thanks still would like pics of under the car so i can prove to my dad that its not gonna be that bad

 

 

what do you mean ground clearence or wheel well clearence? i have no probs posting better daytime photos just clerify what you want...

no rubbing anywhere, 225/40/18

driveways i have to take at an angle, and the little black plastic air dam below the radiator rubs on speedbumps and curbs, but nothing else. also, i have literally an 1/8th inch clearance on the lowest parking spot "mini curbs"

the only part that MAY rub is your exhaust. i've had that a few times..and i have 17's on. No tire rubbing or anyhting

 

yeah the only problem i have had was where the dp/exhaust meet up thats the only thing i have scraped, but thats only after i got and aftermarket exhaust

 

The only thing you may scrape is the front valance for us SS/SC guys and the over axle portion of the exhaust!

 

thanks guys this should helpo me get the springs =]
