I'm rideing on a set of Yokahama AVS Sports...

Size'd out at 215/35/18", Yes we did have to roll the front and rear fenders to make them fit.

Hi Slim 11420..

Rolled them cause I use a Dynamic Auto Design N1 complete suspension kit. This kit's ride height adjust's without changing the springs compression and does not sacrifice the shocks stroke.

Most coil-over kits require the movement of the spring perch to determine your ride height which will cause a reduction in suspension travel and will induce your coil-springs binding-wont do that with my system.

I can use all settings from 0" to 5" drop (roll dem fenders) for the inside tower clearance. By the way my kit comes complete with mounting plates already installed therefore Complete Kit ready to drop in.

got any pics? Im using ground control coilovers with tokiko 5 way adjustables...can not drop up to 5 though...i do know when i have it all the way down im ok on the 18's unless im REALLY drivin the car. try not to wear those wheels when im playing with corners though...have a set of 17s with better rubber for that. Have absolutely no problem with those. How do your wheels do under heavy cornering? i know they rubbed a little before but are they rub free now that the fenders have been tucked?

Hi Slim: With the fenders rolled I have about 3/4 " to 1.0" of space before the tire gets to the strut suspension, so even under cornering I dont get any rubbing.

Now if I'm corning heavy and hit a deeper road rut I do get a little top tire chaffering and it squeels on hotter pavement.

Over speed bumps....well let's say that I try to not go there.
