One more time please.
I am replacing my 15's with 18" wheels and while I am still waiting for the rears to be shipped I bolted on the fronts after mounting the tires to check them out.
now the overall diameter is close, but the shorter sidewall makes the gap to the fender look HUGE!!!17724
So, I want to cut some off of my Hotchkis 2" drop coils. I have had them in a while so I think it's done settling.
I drive this thing almost everyday from shortly after the snow melts untill the first snow fall.
I have seen alot of your cars at the ride height I want but....
1. How much do you drive them with them being so low? And any rub issues?
2. Exactly where do I start and how much do I cut off?
I read numerous threads and some say a half a coil, and then say it didn't line up in the spring pocket, others say full coil at a time.
I'm confused, help me before I ruin a good set of springs.
I currently have factory control arms and stock multi-leafs with a half inch lowering block in back.
I am waiting for the rears to arrive before I decide on 2" or 3" DSE drop leafs.
Input is appreciated!!!
