Phill_92 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I've tried to avoid asking a question that's been asked before by searching and all I found was information on lowering 30mm. I have just fitted 25/30mm spacers on my zed as I had never planned to lower it. I thought the only drop offered by springs was 30mm and as my driveway is pretty steep I assumed a 30mm drop would make the car pretty impractical. Anyway i've only just seen that Tein offer a 17/14mm drop, does anyone know of anyone running them with 25/30mm spacers? I just want to know if I can get away with running them without any scrubbing. Thanks in Advance. Quote
Desey Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Im around 45mm lower, im usually fine, i just avoid most driveways. Speedhumps can be very problematic! My rear W brace is in a bad way a lot of people here run 30mm no problem i think, im sure they will clarify this is on 18 inch wheels i presume, with around standard tyre profile Quote
gumpy000 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I have both Teins and 20/25mm spacers. I know you said 25/30mm but mine are absolutely fine so sure yours would be? Quote
Phill_92 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Ooops I see if posted this twice! Yes sorry to clarify standard rays with 25-30mm spacers. not worried about scrubbing as in the bottom of the car on road surface more of the wheel rubbing on the arches/liner when on lock? Quote
GT4 Zed Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 You are worrying for nothing. At 17mm you will be fine. Provided no crazy sideskirt/front lip and wheels. Are you running 30mm on Rays? Bit excessive if that's the case. An ET of 12-15mm will give the perfect poke. Quote
nowhereboy Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I'm running tein springs and 10J wheels (wider than stock) with no issues at all. Saying that everytime I look at it now I still wish it was a touch lower. I'd go 30mm if I was to do it again. 1 Quote
Daveyboy11 Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 I am running Tein springs and 25/30mm spacers it's absolutely fine no rubbing etc but my exhaust does catch on some bumps now. Quote
Phill_92 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Posted April 16, 2015 Brilliant thanks everyone I don't have any doubts now. I'll just need to check the clearance on my driveway and get a set on order Quote
