Default Am I going to rub?

I just ordered a set of Eibach Pro Kit springs and an adjustable Panhard Rod from Summit Racing in order to lower my car an inch or so. I'm running the Torq Thrust II's with the 17x11's in the rear and BFG Drag Radials in a 315/35 R 17. Also how hard is it to swap the front springs out? Looks like it's going to be a pain in the *** from what I've read.

Your goin to rub with those wheels so you might need to use the BFH on the front part of the fenders in the back. Like if your lookin at the wheel well its goin to be on the left. I had to do it with my 295 BFG drags. So im goin to assume you'll have the same problem cause you have bigger wheels.

As for the front springs, your goin to need a spring compresser or use a manual one. You can rent one from Autozone if i remember correctly

Thanks, I figured it would move the rear rims in closer to the inner fender well. I'll beat the hell out of it and re-undercoat it, I'm just worried about the fender lip though. I guess I'll see how everything lines up tomorrow. Thanks again.

Most likely will have to roll the quarters, not 100%, but chances are very high.
