take one spring out of the rear and jack the tire all the way up as far as it goes. That will tell you how much clearance you have when you lower it.

nah jus put a floor jack under the camber arm and jack it up. lifting the bucket will work too i think. oh even better get a piece of flat square wood on top of the jack under the tire and jack that up

just want to know if anyone has a similar setup and can provide some feedback.
thanks in advance.
Wheel size with your offset is perfect for a coupe, you could lower it another 1/2" without rubbing. However, if you ever intend to go with 285/35s out back you'll need to roll those rear lips. I have similar wheel size with mid 20s offsets running Michelin Pilot Super Sport 285s without rubbing. Don't mess with your rear alignment just to get the 285s on since they'll wear prematurely! Shame you don't live on the left coast, we have members and shops that wouldn't hesitate to roll/pull those rear fenders...GaryOriginally Posted by DRG35R
shop I took my car to was not willing to roll rear fender for fear of doing any damage. car is a 2005 coupe in mint condition and they were worried about cracking paint even with rolling tool and heat gun. this is a shop I have been going to since 2003. current wheel/tire setup is 19x9.5, +19, 245-35 and 19x10.5, +19, 275-35. running Conti DW which tend to run a little narrow for this size.car sits on 350Z RS*R Ti2000 springs which drop car approx. 1 inch front and rear. have absolutely no rubbing issues with this current setup and car appears to have a good .5 inch or more it could come down to have a little nicer stance. want to know if I lower car a little more...say .5 inch, would I have any rubbing issues? so a 1.5 inch drop all around with no fender roll.not looking to go really low or get slammed and coils are out of the equation here.just want to know if anyone has a similar setup and can provide some feedback.
thanks in advance.
