Not the best picture to get an idea, but here you go...



I have had mine for two or three weeks now, and the rear does sit lower than the front. With nobody in the car, I can fit one finger between the fender and tire on the front. There's no finger gap in the rear though. It looks really good and rides tremendously...

awesome, cause I'm about to buy some springs and I can't really decide between these and the eibach pro. I might go with these cause I'm all for a little lower. What size tires do you have if you dont mind me asking?

i put wheels on before i lowered it, so the front would rub when i hit bumps or turned hard and the back would hit JUST barely ( would just touch the tire shine, no cuts) when hitting large bumps. i cambered the front in more and only the back would rub now, but its ok with me. i dont know my offset etc cuz i bought the wheels used.


16" 195/50/16 rota jmag

15" 195/55/15 drag dr20 (?)

I just posted a thread but I think that you just answered my questions. So I guess that 16's will rub with the DF210's. Do you think I could avoid rubbing and still run the DF's by running a thinner tire or different offset.

u can run a thinner tire like 195 45 16 and run a offset of either 40+ or maybe higher. it shouldnt rub then.

dont quote me on the 40+ offset. i think anything higher than 40+ should work not sure about 40+.
