Any regrets lowering you car?

[Fatty]

I want to lower it but worrying about rubbing. Anyone having regrets or rubbing issues? and what kind do you have? I was thinking of Steeda progressives. I have the PP wheels.

No, no rubbing, eibach pro...love the springs just enough of a drop to close the wheel gap. I have 20x10 with 295's on the back and I have no issues

No regrets, no rubbing. Maybe only regret not going lower? But then I might regret rubbing. First thing I do to almost any car I ever buy.

I have Steeda Progressives and have had no issues with rubbing or bottoming out.

No rubbing, even with aftermarket wheels. I'm on steeda progressives.

If you're on stock wheels (with no spacers), you shouldn't have to worry about rubbing.

No real regrets here. The only issue I had was getting over bad habits when it came to inclines, dips, and bumps. You gotta be mindful of them and take em easy. You shouldn't have an issue clearing most things.

And parking with the full bumper in front of the edge of the spot. Don't try pulling forward until your tires hit.

Probably won't rub even with spacers, especially if you get a proper alignment done. There are people with 11" rims and 325 tires lowered not rubbing. Only thing I'd be worried about spacing wheels out is rock chips. I'd suggest the BMR SP080 springs or Ford Racing's "Street" springs if you have any concerns. They're a nice looking but conservative drop (both in reality do about 1-1.2" up front, .5-.75" in back) and spring rated appropriately for stock shocks. And they're like $200. If I wasn't crossing my fingers that my Koni/Prokit actually comes in sometime this quarter, I'd have the BMR springs.

I have a GT Performance Pack as well, BMR Performance springs give great rake to the car.

No regrets lowering at all. I honestly thought I'd be rubbing and have to be extremely cautious as well, but I drive the car just like I did before lowering. I mean obviously there are certain areas where you just know to be careful, but I've never had anything happen accidentally.

No rubbing here. Just watch out for the dips, bumps, inclines. When parking watch for the curb stop. We used the CJ Pony parts lowering kit. My rims are the 18"

No rubbing here.

Mine is lowered on the FRPP Track Pack springs and I'm running 285/35/20 up front and 315/35/20 in the back. My regret is that I didn't lower it sooner. I too was afraid my tires might rub, and I kept putting it off for months. Now my stang rides better, handles better, and looks better than it did stock.

You guys pulled up over parking stops before you lowered? bold move...

No regrets here, Steeda Progressives ftw :cheers:

 

[OutlanderRed]

Eibach Pro...no regrets!

 

[Chameleon]

Nope, nada.
