4 fingers???? I can barely get 2.

My H Techs settled in bothd F & R at just over 1" as measured from the garage floor.

It's hard to get a good pic cause my car is black and the tire dissapears....

Here's what I'm dealing with. I guess its actually 3 finger gap. Also, excuse the dirtyness. I drove a total of 10 hrs yesterday to get these a$$ rims

That does look kinda high.

I guess the question is....did you take any measurments off the floor to the fenderwell before you put the springs on?

My springs are stock sports package. I never dropped them. It looked okay when I had stock 19" rims and tires. I guess the stock tires were a lot taller. I had about a 2 finger gap with stock 19" and stock springs.

Can you give me a measurment from a level floor to the center of the fenderwell?

Measured like this....mine is exactly 26.5" h rear and 26" h front.

Whats the rear tire size? They look like 275/30/19 which are 1" shorter overall than the stock tire size, which is possibly where your extra gap is coming from. Run a 275/35/19 or 285/35/19 and it'll fill the gap better and be the correct tire size

yup yup. I seem to feel the road more with these thinner tires bc my steering wheel would jerk alittle if i change lanes on the hi way, is that normal? Will I need to get an alignment done with these rims even if I just recently had the alignment done with my stock rims instead?

I'll add some pics so you guys can see what the H-Techs look like with the spring mount cut. Keep in mind, I haven't had my car aligned yet so there is still tons of camber.

Heres some of mine with the springmount mod as well



I'll do a write-up next week when I'm at home, I ordered another set of rear springmounts because I need a little more clearance in the rear to get into my garage without scraping

Looks awesome redlude97. I feel that the upper spring mount mod is a must for anyone with H-Techs.

So did you get a camber kit to get rid of the terrible negative camber you had in the rear or did you just get an alignment?

Looks good!
