Default Anyone running a moser m9 rear with 1.25 lowered springs?

Just ordered an m9 rear and was wanting to lower the car with some springs and keep stock shocks. Anyone know if my 315's are gonna hit fenders and will the rear or TA hit if I do this? The car is an 01 ws6. Any help would be great!

Is the new rear stock width and what is the size/offset of your wheels?

Rear is stock width and my rimes are 17x11. When I ordered them years ago I didn't get a special offset just ordered regular 17x11 from American racing, they are torque thrust 2's

As long as they fit before, you should be fine. Just expect to BFH a bit and get your fenders rolled to be safe

I have TTII's with 315 nittos on the rear. Lowered w/stranos and adjustable PHB. I did not roll fenders or use a BFH on anything. Everything seems fine w/no rubbing.

With a moser, expect the top of the torque arm to smash into the side of the tunnel. Usually you need to BFH the tunnel to get it to fit.

Just to be clear it's not a moser 9in its a moser fab M9. I was told on stock suspension it would have plenty of room, I just can't find anyone that has an M9 with their car lowered

Thanks for the info on the 315's, now just need to find out about the M9 rear and torque arm clearance

Anyone with a moser fab M9 lowered out there, need to know if filler cap or top of torque arm hits. If so what do you do to stop it.

I have the same rear with TTM's and 315's out back. I cut about 1/2" off the rear quarter panel lips as they rubbed over deep bumps. Torque arm mount will hit tunnel.....BFH fixed that. Im lowered on eibach 1.5" drop in rear with no other issues.

Do you have the moser 9 inch rear or the M9 fab rear, and are there some springs that will lower just 1 inch?
