I've been told the front is LOW. I think you'd have some issues with a daily driver. Have you dropped the car any? I have the kit on order, but my car isn't a daily driver.

Off topic, did we meet a few weekends ago in Wilmington at Baine's house? At the beach/poker run?

My name is Robin, the SB with Burnt Orange interior and Diamond Black GT-7's.

My Do-Luck kit is being finished this week, but I can definitely tell you that it sits very low. I've got 20" wheels and tires and I'll probably have to raise it about an 1" all around and it will still be low.

Good luck!
Ron

use front tire profile at x35 and you will be fine. No need to raise up your coilover bro.

Thanks Bubble. I'm thinking of doing just that with the next set of tires and going with a 295 in the rear. I only raised it about half inch. See pic above.

where do you get 295 for 20"? i couldn't find it. I had mine as 255x35 front and 285x30 rear. Really love to have 305 rear but couldn't find any tire for it too.

Have not found one yet.......was hoping Pirelli or Conti would have one soon, but I've not checked it out lately.

Edited: just checked Continental tires and they have a 305/25/20 in the ContiSportContact 2.
