Default Lowering With 9inch

Anyone with a 9inch lower there car's at all, or should I say with a Moser 9. I was wanting to drop mine just an Inch. But with the TQ Arm Bracket there I have less than an inch before it hits the bottom of the body now at stock height.

Let me know what some of you did, thanks!

I have Hotchkis springs and a Moser 9". You can see where it definitely has contacted the body, but it clearanced it self after a few big dips. No major issues so far.

I'm worried it will cut a hole in the floorpan

You should . I hit a small rise in the pavement at about 160mph on the Autobahn. The torque arm mount clearanced the floor pan quite nicely.

Big Friggin Hammer and do it yourself, or let the car work it out on it's own. Those are really your only options.

since moser dosent care if the products fit, you have to bend the floor pan a little bit. when dealing a moser 9" your 3 most used tools will be a HAMMER, PRYBAR, and a GRINDER!
here is a thread to with a few more opinions on the torque arm mount on lowered cars problem. hope it helps
