Does anyone have this setup and did you roll your fenders to clear them?
I had these on my TA but i didnt have a prokit installed. thanks

If your car is low, yes you will.
I have Jamex and don't need to, but on my old car they would hit going ever bumps on the hiway.

I'm running Boyd's 11's in the rear with BMR springs also and no rolling/pounding here. Nittos also.

Talk to Sam Strano. He told me if I go with an 11 on the rear that I will definitely want to roll the fenders.
