Lowering springs and wheel spacers- anything to watch out for?

wwiiavfan · 01-11-2019, 05:54 AM

Posted this over in the suspension area, but didn’t get any replies, so I thought I would put it up here.

Anyone running this combo (with stock wheels on SS)?
Anything to be aware of during install or when in use?
Car very rarely has clearance issues now, so not expecting too much more after lowering. How about rubbing with lower height and spacers? Planning on going up one size on the tires, too.

Thanks in advance.

I had an inch drop with 20mm spacers front and back with zl1 splitter. Cut the studs for split spoke wheels. Splitter was lower than most curbs. Too low for some ramps on garage lifts. Slight wheel well rub up front on full turn backing out of the driveway.

Make sure, if you get spacert/adapters, they are HUB CENTRIC..
