i really want to go lower now after riding with my smaller wheel im running like 1inch lower as of now then before with my 19 inch. with 245-40-19, 285-35-19 it's about inch higher then my 18's. so i was thinking about using RCAs it will lower my car about 1.3 inch i belive. i know kevin has them so let me know. anywayz right now i have nf210 on my car with RCA will it be too low??? and will it hit my fender liner??? for those guys that slams the car what do you guys to with fender liner??? take it off??? if take off isn't there any holes that will let water go into under the hood? im really curious about that. kevin how low are you compare to stock height? from way i saw it it wasn't that low... maybe it was the stock wheel that made it look like it but everybody told me that your car is low let me know thank you.

i can tuck tire without hitting the liner

when i was on air i could ride super low on 20s 275 35 out back and 245 i dont remember the side wall up front with out issues

my fenders are shaved and very slightly pulled

rca's are suppose to be for guys with air or coil overs so they can raise the height on the coil to correct camber, your going to be chucking a good bit of camber into the mix by using them with static springs just a heads up

thx... i kinda wanted camber in the back though so yeah i think im going to try it.

[JRiggs]

If the car is a DD I'll tell you no you don't.  You want camber as close to spec as possible.  I'm trying to get as close to zero camber out back as I can currently, I'm going to need new tires soon and I put the current ones on 1st of the year and my camber isn't all that extreme

well all this time I had big size tires on the back 285/35/19 so I had -2 dgree camber on the back and -1 in front so I don't think it will be to bad. If I have too much then I'll just bring back to stock spec since I have hunter align machine at my work anyways it doesn't cost me any thing thx though. But how often did u replaced ur tires?

[JRiggs]

Well to be honest that's not a fair question lol.  I haven't paid for a set of tires in 3 years (free bees) so I do lots of burn outs.  This set though has maybe  5k on them with only one 3rd gear burn out.

dude u just sound like me. lol i was doing the same i have stacks of tires in my garage and my work. everytime thre is tire damage on the side of the tire (slightly cut... insurance company replace it for cutomer) so i just look at the thread and if it's good i just flip them inside out and mount them.... looks new everytime lol
