I'm running 10.5" rear et42 and 9" front et32

Tyre sizes are 285/25/20 rear and 255/30/20 fronts

Will I be able to lower on this setup

Thank you

The front will be real close imo, if it barely rubs you can switch to a 245 tire and be golden though. Can't speak for the rear as I'm running 10" wide with 305's at stock sport+ height.

Yea. Why not.

Luke-BITURBO

Thank you my tyre choice is not available in 245 fronts hopefully be ok on 255

You might rub in the back at 10.5" at that ET over bumps or dips in S+ but that should be fine.

Youre probably going to touch in the front. What brand of tire?

Michael Mailhot

Only hr spring

Lowering links in the rear?..

Looks like stock rear suspension on Michaels car to me, on sport setting. The rear of these cars are plenty low stock, very little "wheel gap" in the rears with 20" wheel setups.
I would like to find some springs to lower my front a 1/2" however, so the gap matches.

Yea, it looks factory in the back to me as well. H&R's give a pretty perfect stance up front in my opinion. The more I look at wheels for my car though, the more I end up just liking the factory forged wheels. I don't know that I can bring myself to do a 20" set up. The ride is stiff enough as it is..

They are Goodyear eagle f1 assymetric 2

from the research Ive been doing regarding wheel fitment for our cars. I personally dont think you will have an issue.

Luke-BITURBO

Thanks I'm going to go ahead and order the parts, I'll go down a width if I have to

baldmike73

not sure what you eneded up going with but i have 255/30 and 285/25 in the rear and wish i had gone with 245/35 and 275/30 - the sidewall is really low - my car is really low too - no rubbing with current set up - i am running 20's 9 in front 10.5 in rear -

Luke-BITURBO

Yeah I'm running the same I don't mind it but would be interested on what the 245 front and 275 rear with a wider profile would look

mj_39

^ Any rubbing issues now that you are lowered?

allenjdmb

and 285 30 R, but I'm not quite finished trimming out the height yet....
lemme see if I can get a picture up...no scrubbing, but pretty close. They are PSS...

baldmike73

no rubbing with my set up (H&R and rear links/star) - let me see if i can post a profile pic

Luke-BITURBO

H&r fronts? Looks really low how much do these lower by? I have some sat in storage and going to be hard work with brabus front lip I think

baldmike73

site says .75 - 1inch

I'll just put out some info on my current setup, do what you'd like with it.

Suspension: H&R springs / links
Tires: Pzero 285/30/19 & 255/35/19
Spacers: F: 5mm R: 13.5mm
Wheels: OEM (specs to make life easy) F: 19x9 +37 R:19x9.5 +52
*Note, spacers make wheel offsets effectively F:19x9 +32 R: 19x9.5 +39
**Note 2, I used to have 10mm spacers in the front but rubbed. Still haven't confirmed on new spacers as I have only pulled my car off a trailer and into my garage since, however, I used to rub turning the wheel and do not anymore so I feel good that I wont on the road.

Stock heights -- F: 27 1/8" floor to fender. R: 26 3/8" floor to fender
Lowered heights -- F: 25 1/2" floor to fender. R: 25 1/8" floor to fender
(Obviously the rear is up to you and adjustable with links)

Lastly, I have the Brabus style front lip installed as well. There are some scratches underneath, but you have to get under to see. In S+ (and car off/lowest setting) the lip is 3" off the ground at it's lowest point. If you are in comfort mode it is lower to the ground as raising the rear will lower (rake) the front but it's not much lower.

And some pics to show:

Stock Front:


Lowered Front:



Lowered Rear:


Whole car:


I'll get better pictures eventually. But where I live we had a wind storm come through (hence the shingles in a pic) and then that NE snow storm come through and deposited snow drifts on my deck 3-4 feet high.

Hope that helps. Also, I know the wheel width's differ, but you can use this source (http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Default) to plug in my setup and your desired setup to see how they compare.

Edit: Sorry, things double copied/pasted.

Nice! Can't quite tell from the pix, Vossen or Savini? 19's or 20's (they look like 20's....)....
Regarding the pix on the Purple Heart 63, thanks for that. I wish you had run the tape measure for the rear too. In fact, I wish everyone would make that measurement and see about where we end up...

chiromikey

I wish people would talk about post lowered alignment!

allenjdmb

Don't know if it's got it or not..
I think this might be 3-4 mm too low in the front, but I haven't measured it yet, And don't bust me on the fender liner, just cleaning while I'm in there..

CarHopper

No worries, I listed all the measurements though... I have more pics with tape measure but I just included one so you guys saw the method. Also, the rear being links is adjustable so you can decide where you end up yourself.
