It's not so much a drop as it is getting negative camber dialed in. Ofcourse, the lower you go, the more the wheel will get pushed under (negative camber). I think with those size rims with that offset, you are definately going to need to roll the fenders as well.

I have about a 1.75" drop in the back and 2" upfront. My rears, once I get the camber kit installed and my alignment done, they will fit perfect. I may even need to roll my fenders a bit..but I am running 9.5" +45 in the rear.

Post pics of the rears from the back so we can get a better look. I'm no expert in this area.

Maybe Chico will come across this thread and chime in. He should be able to offer you some good advice on what you will need to do now to get them to tuck.

The way the rim looks when you do a test fit like that is a bit deceiving. I thought the same thing when I did a test fit with my 9.5s. Once you get tires on and the weight of the car on the rim/tire, it will pull in a bit. You will still have to roll the fenders and dial in negative camber but it is not as bad as it looks.

Have you mounted tires on them yet and let the car sit on them?

Yeah I shoulda took a pic when i was up at the tire shop but it stuck out about a thumbnail with the car on the ground.....I just learned today about the negative camber and all that good stuff....So now I need to get some springs and while i'm waiting i'm gonna roll my fenders


Big ups to AutomotiveMods and Ttrank for explaining all that crap to me

Asfar as springs. Any of the vendors on here should have some. I have ordered stuff from a few of them and i love the service....
right now I am on tein S-techs and I love them. Especially the price, i posted a couple of pics somewhere on here with how my car looks.....
Its a nice drop and a good ride for being that I still have stock shocks.

Just click on some of the links on the top of the page or go to the marketplace and do a search there... you cant go wrong with any of them...

Thanks

I'm dropped on Tein coilovers. I've gone through several revisions on my drop and having the adjustability for both the drop and the stiffness has been great. It's allowed me to get the look and feel I want out of the car.

There are alot of others going with springs.....a search should yield you alot of results. As of late, I've seen alot of people running the unrevised Z springs. There's alot to choose from.
