If you have 19/20 and are lowered...

[jasontiff]

What tires are you running and what size?

What springs?

Do you have caps?

The HREs I'm picking up have PS2s on them and from what I hear that's a pretty tall wheel/tire combo. I'm afraid it's going to be too tall for my springs/caps. The Intrax springs were good for about 1" and the caps did another .25" - .5". I've heard of people having a 20" rear with PS2s (30 sidewall) and still rubbing on stock ride height. Am I gonna be pulling out the spring compressor again?

So even if I went completely back to stock in the rear I'll still rub...dammit. I know with a slightly less-tall tire and Eibachs/caps I'm okay (sirhc76 is rockin' that). I'm trying to find the middle ground.

Stock springs + 20" wheel + 30 sidewall = rubbing
Eibachs with caps + 20" wheel + 25 sidewall = fine

My Intrax are supposed to be just as stiff as the Eibachs, but I'm betting I have to at LEAST pull the spring caps, if not go to an Eibach for that extra .25" clearance. I'm hoping someone has lowered with a PS2 and can shed light on this, otherwise I'm gonna have a long, swearing-filled weekend ahead of me with entirely too much trial and error.

Something about 20"s just don't look right on a Viper too me. Everyone I've seen with them complains about the problems they cause.

It's just not going to work unless you pull the stock springs and put a set of stiff springs on (and give up ride quality). If people at stock height are rubbing you are going rub even more lowered.

Invos or Pirellis are your only options. Believe me, I have already been over all of the options.

19/20's here with Eibach's and INVO's
285/30/19 Front
345/25/20 rears

HRE 20" front and rear, and I have NO rubbing!

Guess thats because my ACR springs are firmer compared to non ACR.

Try to avoid Pirellis if you can. I had them and I cannot tell you how much more I can do with this car now that I went PS2. Seriously. Day and night. Would go back to a smaller tire than go back to a Pirelli!
