Default Need Opinons Please

Does anyone think my 315s will make contact with the fenders on a hard launch? I'm asking because I'd like to avoid rolling them.

My car has full UMI rear suspension and Koni shocks set at one full turn from full soft in the rear. Power should be around 400 at the wheels after the cam. They don't hit now and I'm making 357rwhp and 365rwtq.

I know this is older, but wanted to give a tip.

1- I do not feel they would hit

2- The rear shocks should be tighter compared to fronts being softer.

see you tomorrow
