bottledgto no I havent yet. Life got in the way I did however switch front tires to Hoosier radials and took the white lettering off the rear to match. Id like to get the Caltrac split monos with a 1.5 inch drop to go with the caltrac bars. Theyre just so damn expensive. Then I think she would have the right stance.

Any rubbing with the 3 inch drop? I thought it would be too much so I was thinking about going with a 2 inch drop mono leaf since I have monos now.

Yea Im running a Hoosier QT 27x10.5. Is your rear narrowed or stock width? If its stock I might go with a 3 in drop too. Your car sits perfectly imo.

So I photoshopped my car with about a 3 inch drop in the back. Daddy like! And the DSE springs are about the same price as the split monos I was going to get. Only thing Im worried about is can I switch from a mono to a multi with the caltracs? When I ordered the caltracs bars they asked if it was mono or multi. Does it really make a difference you think?

I would call Calvert and see if they can get the split monos in the 3" drop ride height. They also sell a 1/2" lowering block too.

I talked to them a while back and 1.5 is the most they drop. Hotchkis makes a 1.5 or 3 inch but they are way more expensive than the DSE ones. Ill call DSE and see if those work in my application. Thanks for your help 6D9. Maybe Ill see you at Byron this summer. Cheers!

Default Weld rts

Both you're cars look great ! I ended up going with a 15x10.5 rts on my first gen I was told it wouldn't fit but after some precise measuring and a bit of fender massaging I was able to get these bad boys to fit . I

also lowered 2" so far no issues
