trim the upper most part of the inner fender, just a bit from the inside...no one will ever see it...lol.....only a small trim is needed b/c the tire hits directly on top, so don't trim the whole inner fender...lol

is the solution

why not raise it a little? you can prob just go up 1/2" or so and that may reduce the rubbing but still look plenty low

or keep it slammed and cut the inner lining out

Sounds like someone like the slammed look, huh? Yeah, me, too! :tup:

Thanks for the pics! Now at least I know I got options.

i'm sure it's just that piece of plastic.......if it was hitting the fender, ur fender should be dented by the wheel by now.....

This is the reason I didn't go quite as aggressive on the offset as you did, looks beautiful but I didn't want the headache if I wanted to really lower my car :(

I'd suggest doing a little trimming as others have said, because the car looks absolutely fantastic. :leghump:

If you raise it up at all, the wheels will get pushed out a tad at normal ride height, which may not look right. Jasonhout showed his Vossens sticking out at least 8-10 mm's before he lowered it, and after he lowered it they looked very flush.

There wouldn't be anything wrong with taking it to Summitt Point for a Friday at the Track either. I plan on doing that soon. It really is the only way to legally "get into it".

has to trim it 1st before going there

Since I have never been into modding cars, I have a question. Does lowering your car to that degree have a negative effect on the cars handling? I think the car looks great lowered like that, but 2's gotta lot of performace bolt-ons. It would be a shame to hurt the cars performance or handling for a slammed look. If that's the case I would raise it up about a 1/2 inch. Nobody will really notice.

IF you are rubbing, ya it is hindering performance. However if you aren't rubbing you have effectively lowered your center of gravity for better handling, assuming your springs/shocks are setup to handle the lesser amount of travel. Most coilovers are ready for that though :)
