How many people are running lowered cars with 315's out back. I have TT2's with 315's out back and I am about to put a set of goldline springs on and was wandering if I will have any issues. I know I need to get a adjustable panhard bar but not even sure if it will work anyways.Pleas help guys. And Pics would be great.

 

i have DMS springs with 315s and no adj. panhard. They rubbed in one lil tiny spot so I just hammered that spot in and now they're fine

 

What rims and tires are you running and how much lower is your car from stock?

 

17x11 ZR!s / 315 Nitto nt555R's
These are about the best compariosn shots I could get, sorry for the dirty car

 

Thanks for the pics. Oh yea nice ding behind the drivers side door. Its alright I got a few too.

 

I rolled the lip on the rear qtrs and I have had any issues with my TTII's 315s...Eibach Sportline.

 

wow your dms sits WAAAAY higher than mine in the rear.

Here is my setup.. this is what I did..

I have a 2001 camaro ss. 295x35x18 out back on BFG KDWII which runs bigger to almost 305 on a different tire.

I had to fender roll my lips.. not hard and I like it more.. also, I had ALOT of rubbing on the inside fender so I had to bash that in as well. My bumpstops were a major issue for me too so in my drunken state.. I grinded them off.. I mean, the ENTIRE bracket and everything. UUUUGH. Beer and Cutting tools = BAD COMBINATION. lol

Now all is fine.

 

u take the isolator out? also, my driveway is sloped a tad so it sits lower than in that pic on level ground

 

Do you have a pic of a rolled qtr panel? And how hard is it.

 

It's not hard, all you need is some 3m tape -to protect the paint, a hammer and dolly and a little time.
Just make sure to work it evenly so the paint won't crack.
Practice on an old car till you get the hang of it or you can rent a fender roller.

17x11 ZR1's with 55mm offset, Hotchkis springs. At stock ride height, I didn't have to do anything. When I put the Hotchkis springs back on, I had to:

1) Hammer the inner fender wells
2) Re-centered the rearend with an adjustable panhard bar
3) Roll the fender lips*
4) Trimmed the out edges of the bump stop mounts, but DID NOT remove or grind the bump stops themselves

*I rented a fender roller and heat gun because I didn't feel comfortable doing the tape, hammer, dolly method.

I've run 3 sets of 17x11's all on a lowered car (pro-kit) and did just what mike mentioned

 

 

That car is amazingly clean, cendres... Almost looks like the pics they take of new cars for advertising.

 

Yeah. Or for car magazines. Or something.



Thanks.

 

I just did mine. 17x11 ZR1s with the 50 mm offset - lowered with Hotchkis springs. The springs say 1" drop but I got ~ 1.5" drop - maybe a little more. I did not need the adj phb or rolled fenders (yet). I needed the BFH mod on the inner fender wells and to trim the bump stops. I am keeping an eye on everything to see if needs a little more work.

Word of caution: the wheels I bought did not quite fit over the hub on my car. I had to grind the hub back to get the wheels to sit flat against the rotor. Make sure that the wheel is sitting flat aginast the rotor when mounted or you can have some major issues.

 

I already have the wheels and have had them for a year now.

 

what wheels are on cendres's ride?

 

Sorry man - missed that part of your post I guess. I read it too fast.

 

I don't think that's his personal car. I think I remember seeing it in a magazine a few years back.

They're Fikse Mag's.
