Once again I am not sure if this is low enough. The car is not mini tubbed, just has the BFH mod. I have about 1.5-2 coils taked out as well as the rubber insulators.

i know you are not a n00b so i dont understand what you are looking for. you realize there is only a small amout of room in the wheelwell of a stock tub and a 28x13 tire is friggin huge. sounds like what you want is a mini tubbed car. there is NO WAY to sit an fbody over a tire that is 28x13 on a stock tub. my tires sit inside the 1/4 panels and slightly in the well. thats as good as it gets and i beat and cut my bump stop area out. i have gone as far as i can go without going to a mini tub.

you are looking to tuck a 325 right?

neither of those two TAs have mini tubs installed. the first black TA i know personally

yeah i wanted to basically have the tip of the tire in the wheel well...like the silver car of green car another half inch in the back...but the big concern is my car has done 1.3 60' and dont wanna compramise it. Ive read a lot of "custom" relo brackets seems ill have to do that so id like to make sure guys that are that low are still haveing their suspension working correctly...i know guess whos car is slammed and working 1.2 60' but its minitubbed

That looks good. You got any room to go much lower in the back?

^^^I think that's your answer right there, he looks about 1/2" lower than me. I get the occasional rub going up driveways sideways, other than that it clears fine for normal driving on the street.

What backspace is that on the wheels? I'm currently waiting for my narrowed housing to get here, but I have 4.5" bs. I've heard anywhere from 5.5 to 4.5 on a housing that's narrowed 3"/side....

Sorry for the late reply. I have been busy. I will check tonight what my backspace is. My fenders are rolled as far as they go.

OK, now I'm worried that the 4.5bs wheels I have might not tuck inside the wheel well enough. Thanks for checking that btw.

That could be close. Let me know what you find out when you try it. I have about 1/2 inch from the tire to the fender. But my lips are rolled as far as they go.

This is with a stock-width 9", hose mod and cut one coil. I had to roll the fenders and remove the bump stop along with som bfh'ing. I'm having to use a 5/16 spacer for the wheels so I can't go much lower right now. Once I get the Strange brakes on I'm going to drop it another 1/2" or so.




The car is sitting on 28/10.5's right now and they fit perfect.
