Man. It was 85 today.

I've been driving with the windows down until about last week. Mid 80s and high humidity mean A/C has to be on all the time now.

But I may grab these. My fronts are tucked about right even without the Konis on their lower perch setting. But the rears sit up a little higher. I think lowering down another half inch or so would make it sit just right.

I wonder, would that affect my pinion angle?

Tell me about it, i hate living up here, winters are way too long. It may affect the pinion angle. I was too lazy to jack the whole car up. When i can drive it up on ramps ill check it.

My front wheel gap always looked perfect but there was always a little gap in the rear. I was hesitant to do the heater hose mod but its mostly the difference in sidewall for me. 275/40 up front vs 315/35 rear

I may hold off then. I have the pinion right finally. But it's good to know I can drop the rear a little more if needed.
