Suspension question

I have the '11 Limited Edition Sedan. Just put 20x9 +32 Vossen CV1's on it (same size all 4 corners) and will be dropping it on KW V3 coils on tuesday.

The back looks like it may be a problem. Any thoughts?

Really? 49 views and no thoughts? Nobody has any experience with this?

Guess I'll find out tomorrow.

You should be fine. When you drop your car, your suspension will naturally develop negative camber. You can add a rear camber kit to get it within specs or adjust it enough to not rub.

Hey MACS, my cv2's are 10.5" +45 which is 6mm further out then your set up. You know I'm just on Eibach right now but I imagine with your KW's you wont be going much lower than that, assuming from your tastes in other things you aren't looking to be real low. The lower you are the more they tuck so you will be fine. I am going to go a little lower with coils and end up adding spacers I think anyway, definitely to the front either way, which is exactly the same set up you have all the way around and it is not flush.

You're getting camber kitst installed too? Let me know if you need anything else but Lou will take care of all that for you.

Cool. I am SO jacked up for this I probably won't sleep at all tonight. Which sucks, because I have school from 6-10pm tomorrow night and I gotta be at work Wednesday by 5:45 am.

Gonna be a loooooong 12 hours at work on Wednesday.

Got them installed. The back was maybe 1/2 inch up past the fender... too low. I was rubbing. Lou adjusted it so the back tire was maybe 3/4 inch below the fender and I barely got it to rub a little, whipping around a downhill corner.

So far they feel pretty damn good. I'll get a 4 wheel alignment next week.
