When lowering the G

Might be dumb but I looked for the answer couldn't find it but when you drop the G and you put spacers on it what do you do with the inner fender lining or whatever?? Do you just cut it? Or do I just push the tires against it? Thanks for the help!

I have Eibachs and 25mm spacers and didn't have to do anything to the inner fender liner. What are you dropped on and how big are the spacers?

Since you posted a topic on lowering I'll might as well ask I plan on dropping my G. If I got some eibachs with 1.2" front and 0.8" rear would a camber kit be necessary be necessary with that amount of drop?

Necessary~No, Recommended~Yes
If you plan on keeping your lowered G for a few years those camber kits will pay for themselves since you'll be buying tires less frequently.

I had the same issue when I lowered my coupe on Tein S Tech so I just cut the liner. No more noise from the tire rubbing against the liner.

I'm assuming you just cut the top portion, right? The section that go down the wheel well should always be there.

Yes I will show once I do! I actually just ordered some coilovers, now I'm looking into a camber kit. Again I am new to this, so since I'll be getting a camber kit as well should I get only the rear? Or front and rear? I want to make sure since I'm dropping my G that I do it right! Thanks for the help btw
