liking it!

Did you get an adjustable PHB and try centering the axle (from passenger to driver's side) or is the 1/8" on both sides? My axle pushed to the passenger side a fair bit wen I lowered the car.

There was not an adjustable Panhard on the car when that picture was taken. It now has a BMR Adjustable installed, but the car has been on jack stands and in pieces since installation, it hasn't seen the road since Nov. 2013

How close is your inner tire to your bump stop brackets? I'm waiting for my F14's to come in and I have the same size/offset in the rear. I ordered the FRPP 5300-L 1.25 springs and didn't like the look since I was only using the rear springs ( a little to much drop compared to the fronts) so I bought a set of roush rear springs and dropped the back just a little less than an inch. Oh I also have the Michelin pilot super sport 325/30/19 so I was just wondering how close I would be to those brackets. I'm going with a 9.5 front wheel with 35mm offset MPSS 275/35/19 and may still use the springs later once the wheels are mounted I will install the springs to see if they rub anywhere and just to see how it looks.

The car sits on K-Springs

Does your tires rub the bump stop bracket if your suspension is fully unloaded?

The only street race I have lost was to 13' mustang on 325 drags, 4.10s, circle d, car. He got me out of the hole but I was SLOWLY gaining on him.

Will they rub, maybe sometimes.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

No rubbing

 

[Fabman302]

No problems for me.

Wheel specs on the street wheels?

Wheel specs on the street wheels?

8.5 wheels with 2.5" added to inside to make 11" wide.
Back spacing of stock wheel is 6.8 + 2.5 = 9.3 back spacing.
Add 1.25" spacer and it becomes 6.8+2.5-1.25=8.05 total back spacing.

Here is the stock wheel info:

my Nitto Invo tires just came in. I ordered 325/30/19 for the rear and 275/35/19 for up front. I'm waiting on my forgestar CF5Vs to be finished and shipped off then will report back on how they fit. I've been told the fitment will be tight but it will work!

I'm assuming your going with 11 in rear wheels?. Know the offset?

 

[Joey8]

Yeah 11 inch rears. Somewhere between 50-55 i dont know exactly.

Love the 325/50/15s on the drag wheels. I'm gonna be needing a set soon. I think I'm going with the Weld RTS though.

Looks awesome man.

Thanks...you can't go wrong with weld wheels.
The Race stars were just more in my budget at the time.

325/30/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires on 11 inch wheels with 53mm offset will rub when the rear suspension is completly unloaded. They don't rub until suspension is unloaded all the way though and I don't see that happening on the street or strip. I turned out of a very steep driveway yesterday very slowly just to see if that would do it and nothing. I'm leaving the bumpstop brackets, they should be fine.

Beefcake makes a bump stop relocation kit that fixes this.

I was thinking about that but unless I get my car airborn I'm good and I don't see that happening.
