Don’t suppose you ever ran that height with 19’s and spacers did you, im setting the height on mine and I’m worried about the front rubbing
Im running 63cm front and rear with OEM 19s, no spacers but 275s. I got some slight rubbing on the little arch liner screw on big compressions but that’s it - removing the screw fixed it. Since had front wings rolled and it’s perfect.

thanks, mine isn't that low, mines set at around 64cm rear with arch to top of rim at 60mm ant the front at about 65cm with arch to top of rim 75mm, I have a lot of B roads where I live and would hate to rip the wing to bits on some big bumps.

You got everything back together then? How does it ride with the 034 subframe bushes? Curious as I will be doing my subframes in the near future.

And most of all, pictures please!

Still a few jobs to do but it’s not on the road yet

Thanks, rear should be ok on mine but I may have to remove my spacers to avoid the front arch, 20’s are tempting though.
