Sorry for the triple post! I kept getting a "server error" message, so I actually gave up trying to post and didn't think it actually posted hahaha!

Is that first car red?

No, both the same car, lol. Different camera and setting I guess lol.

What suspension are you guys running? I have CCW SP500 18X11 on Nitto Drags 305/35. I'm using Eibach Pro springs and when I hit a big dip it will scrape the top outer edge of the tire. This is even after I cut the inside fender lip.

I use the airlift 1000 kit, if I'm going on highways and have to deal with transitions, I put a little air in and have no problems at all. It works great, Simple install and looks good also. I was dealing with the same issues your having.

Thanks for the reply. OK, so with this kit it just gives you the option of raising the car from its natural sitting height. You can not make lower as with air bags. I was also thinking of some other adjustments as well like adding some negative camber and using a thicker spring isolator.

Correct like I said, if I need to go on the highway I'll put some air in. Around town I don't have any problems I let out the air and I'm at normal ride height. This is an airbag kit.

305 R888’s all day long. Perfect amount of poke and just enough traction

I’m running the same springs along with factory ISO’s except I have low profile bolts and rolled rear fenders.

What type of Nitto Drags are you running?

Pictures?

Sent from my SM-G950U using the svtperformance.com mobile app

Comparison to my previous 315s (1st 2 pics) and then finally the 325s mounted. I had to re-roll the fenders to gain an additional 1/4" on either outboard side and there's paper thin clearance on the inboard side, even with button head IRS bolts at full shock extension. Also, the exhaust is that much closer but man they look good from behind. :)

damn those are huge!

Yeah. Sitting them side by side, I really wasn't sure that they would fit at all. They just look so much taller and wider than my original 315s but I went ahead and mounted one of them and they fit. Given my rear wheel size, this is definitely the limit on my car.
