Lowering front further pics please
I have H&R springs in the front and the coils are cut i lost track on how many.. I would like my front to be even with the tire. my question is i want to see some pics of low low c classes up front and maybe even some close up pics. any rubbing? i also want to know how much can i lower it without it rubbing the fender? Prefer pics with a 8.5 up front rim. thanks

theres a lot of factors that come into play when rubbing is concerned other then how low it is... the offset on your wheels and what tire brand/tire sizes you use are also factors... my drop in the front is pretty even, theres no gap at all in the front between the tire and fender... any lower and I'd have problems turning... after I got my fenders rolled, I only have slight rubbing but usually none at all unless i turn to sharp into a driveway or hit a slight bump on the road...

that should work... you can drop it as much so that the tire slightly tucks under the wheel... any lower and your turning ability will start to get affected... if you haven't rolled your fenders yet, you'll have to if you drop it more...

have you already rolled your fenders? and is it rubbing now with your current setup? i had it about 1/8" lower when I first lowered the car and i had a bit of a problem turning cuz it would rub especially when i went into driveways... but I also had to use 5mm spacers so that pushed the offset out to like 26-27mm... I couldnt stand the hassle when going up driveways so i raised it 1/8"... 1/8" doesnt sound like much but it makes a big difference in suspension... your going to have some rubbing i can tell you that... the question is are you going to be able to tolerate it because its going to affect your turning ability especially when you go up driveways... you're not going to be able to turn that sharp especially with the p7000's... those have a really tall sidewall...
