Re: Paging "ISOVER4U" (Izover4u)
Well I lowered it real far, as the 35 series tires brought back the uneven gap between the fenderwells that the 40 series helped keep away as they are little taller. I have only rubed over severe bumps with passenger in car. The inner fender wells, plastic, can be moved up a little which helped. If you havent lowered the car, it wont be a concern. Car handles fine, before and after the bigger sway bars were installed, which fit without hitting . I think if more people saw my car next to a car without narrowing and or lowered they would see the difference. I like it allot. It was worth the time, besides I didnt want the GS fender flares. Just my 2 cents worth. Steve

Re: Paging "ISOVER4U" (Izover4u)
I jsut called up all the parts stores and salvage yards for the spindles. I dont where all my recipets are, but they were pretty easy to fins. The spindle is the piece that goes into your wheel bearing, and then if you have your wheel off, the nut in the center, is atached to the spindle. I only have 2 finger capability in my car now. Trust me, I cant even put a jack under the car.
Let me get the article and all the things you need to have done before you go for it. If you have the parts ready to go, it is a matter of pulling the half shafts out, grinding on the spindle, and reaasembling the stuff. Exotic muscle has a kit, but it is very expensive, because they modify the rear knuckles for you, which can be easily done on the car. That invloves more labor work on your side, as you would have to take the Knuckles off.
