Hey Baboon. Why don't you shorten your Sig so it doesn't take up a whole screen?
Ask Jim Banville how to do it.

OHHH now i get it... damn that sucks. So I guess if i want a good suspension without different wheels I can't get CO's? Just springs/shocks?

You just have to check w/the wheel manufacturer. If it is OEM then I dont think it will be a problem since this aftermarket items are made to fit the models specifically. When you get forged wheelsthough you can ask them to have them clear CO's which is what I should have done but at the time I was happy w/my H&R/Koni combo.

Could you tell me what size of spacers you put on and what brand are they ? appeared I'm running into the same problem. Thanks for some input
