I love it when people hand out advice, especially if (by chance) they never owned or worked on a Superformance to begin with.

I have my ride height set at between 25 7/8" and 26", top of wheel lip to ground, front and back. That's about the lowest you can go without running into constant problems. I am running the upgraded (newer cars) Bilstein shocks and NEVER have a rub problem. I have also modified the rear wheel hubs so that the rear Trigo adapter spacer has been eliminated, thus moving the wheels another 1/2" inward. Send me an e-mail and I'll give you more details on how to do this, as you have to have the inner hubs machined 1/4" to clear the Wilwood calipers.

Crawl under your car and you will notice a good 2-3" of inside space still available, even while running 295/50-15's. I'm in the process of having the rear rims widened one inch and going with MT 325/50-15 drag radials, and I still should have at least 1" of clearance inboard without losing anything to the outside.

My gallery has mostly older images, but here is a really recent one....not the best angle but the car does sit lower than the other images in the gallery. (And for what it's worth, that little white speck on the front fender is on the print and not on the car...thank goodness!)




Good luck!
