i just went out and measured 26-1/4" rear and 25-1/2" front, I am on CM springs. I may cut the rear down 3/4" to level it out.

If I go 3/4" lower my tire will be on the fender on my current stock 18" wheels. On my new wheels the tire will stretch hopefully allowing me some room. I am going to have to get coilovers next just I wont be able to run as hard as I usually do without rubbing, I would rather have a fast daily than a take it slow cause my wheels rub daily.

go with the powell, performance over looks all day long. I am trying to balance this too man. I have custom wheels ordered for lighter weight and wider tires for performance but I went with a 35mm for a wider look but now I am juggling the right look with a great driver.

i do some pulls here and there and take corners like a boss, it might rub or scrape but its not bad

people that arent even on lowering springs hitting their bumpers on dips going into parking lots

makes u a better driver and more attention to detail of the roads

eh i hated the stance stuff.... ive made it known to th motorsports too although i was going to prototype the pro comp 2s for um but decided they arent worth the coin.

im probablly going to stick with powells stuff. hes my friend and his stuff is proven and it works for me great on the track. if i was to pull his setup it would be for a set of $5k koni coilovers.

my car looked good on his setup with the 245s but looking at it with stock wheels on makes me hate the ride height....springs here though.

handles better than a roller coaster, beefy is fine in my eyes

your car look similar to Powells redline? but he on 255 tho?

we run the same size tire 245 40 18s but hes on a 18x9.5 i run a 18x9. his i believe are +35 too.....redlines have a bit more clearence i believe but he does rub somtimes.

my cars handles amazing..... i have a complete set of sphericals in the leading and rear cabs, konis, powell v1 springs, modified twisting beam with some differences from its previous modles(wish i would of gotten the camber adjustment though), xxx bar, adjustable front sway bar end links, rotated mounts, under car rails and so forth. the car does its job and proves itself to time and time again. i cant complain honestly.....just want it a bit lower

sharp shooter right there, powell coilover prototypes will seal the deal and have your top notch handling to boot

that is the gap I have right now, my stock wheels are offset in more but I should be about there with my CM springs and my new wheels. Those are powell V1 springs? what changed on the v2? I like that ride height and I think I am going to swing to powell parts. There is no denying their performance based on user reviews and times.

the v2 springs are i think .5'' lower in the rear to even the car out. the rates are 2lbs less in the rear which is nothing

yeah its not worth it for himto do so....good coilovers cost over 2500 easily.

my car did work on the track this year with cars that should of out did mine easily......... they did on the straights but that was it....they had easily 150hp more or more then that... i dont even have a tune init lol

rotors manufactuers make the rotors differently....depends where you get them from....... the way the slats go in the rotor doesnt matter as they will still do their job what matters is the vent direction.
