Trace coil inner and outer diameters on top. Cut to fit. I used a utility knife. It may take some further trimming to get it to seat in the coil pocket of the lower control arm, but I would rate this a pretty easy project.

When I had the V.... Slammed on Ksport coilovers and rubbing the fender on 295's. Cammed and tuned by lethal-performance out of SA. Probably get another one once I pay off the Jeep Srt8.

I also had k-sport coil-overs for many years and tucked a 295 without rubbing nor bottoming out. Did you use the fender rolling machine? It makes miles of a difference, and although it's been a short while I haven't been around, my car was well known when it came to getting wheels for our impossible 6-lug cars, which in my eyes 3pc was the only way to go given no one made anything else.

Took the car to "Fender Roller Guy" and his rolling machine didn't fit the six lug pattern so he just massaged the fender with a rubber mallet and heat gun. It only rubbed when I had my mother-in-law in the back...lol Your the reason I went with K-Sport instead of just installing lowering springs.

That's normally what I use anyway. ATLiens don't often carry/own a snow brush or ice scraper.

they're the same size as stock with a slightly lower offset. from here on out they'll be winter wheels and i'll be going with a set of 19s for my summers when spring gets closer. i'll also be spinning the coils down a little and going lower.
