Wheel gap question
I just swapped the airmatic suspension out for a BC racing coil over setup and now need to set the ride height. I'm running on 19's and the car currently has 1/2 inch wheel gap in the rear and a 2 inch gap in the front. What is a safe gap to run to avoid rubbing?

I think the coils are going to settle over the next few weeks, I suspect the rear is too low & keep reading it’s a pita to adjust.
bit of trial and error so start higher

I have about a hundred miles on the car since I installed them so hopefully they have settled in. I dropped the front a little and it looks much better but damn those rears are impossible to get the wrench on. I may end up dropping the control arm and pull the spring out to make the adjustment.

Check out last pages of my thread for the best way to adjust. Saved myself hours already and only figured it out a week or so ago.
