Default Rear spring re-location kit.....

I was thinking about getting the rear spring re-location kit from Detroit Speed so I could put bigger meats under the car. Has anyone here used this kit? Is it a good one? Does it affect the way the suspension preforms?

Thanks

Your inner wheel wells your limit as far as large tire goes, not your springs. If you do a minitub( widening the wheel wels) about 2 or 3 inch than you have to relocate the spring allso. If you do that then you would need a narrower gas thank , either modified stock unit or after market custom made one.

Also since you want to put bigger tires on you need to stiffen the chassis and as long as you're doing that you'll probably need more braking power,etc.....you know this really is addicting...
