I am attaching the bill of materials of my car for you. It is not all inclusive of what was done, but it is 95% what Steeda did to the car.

With respect to my tires, I have 35/315s PS4s in the rear and 35/275s PS4s in the front. I have the dual rate springs and other components on the car. The bill of materials will help you get an idea of what you can do. Good luck to you.
Thank you VERY much. I am so happy to know I can lower mine. It looks lowered now because of tire gap but in all reality the car is higher than ‘‘twas factory. So basically my car will look like yours, or very close to in. Here is how mine sits now with the just the taller tires, which makes it look lower because of the fender gap but if you measure, my car is about 3/4 inches taller then stock but one I out the springs on it will at least look proper.

I am lowered on Steeda Progressive springs and shocks. I also upgraded to rear upper billet shock mounts and Steeda front adjustable camber plates. I’m running 20 inch Velgen VF9’s. 10 and 11 wrapped in 285/35 front and 305/35 rear. I do have Kooks LTH and have never came close to scrapping. I also added a front liquid vinyl splitter on the existing stock chin and have never scrapped or rubbed anything. However, I only weekend my car and drive on nicely groomed roads on my travels.

Anyway you can post a photo from the side and up close enough so I can see how the fender and tire meet? Thanks in advance if you can, but regardless, thanks for sharing that you have it done. I have decided I am going to do it as well as long as I won’t rub, which I don’t think I will.

Yup! I will either tonight or sometime tomorrow! Also remember these s550 fenders are rolled from the factory too which gives you much more clearance from rubbing. Your fenders are already tucked!



He’s running my exact setup^^^

Thanks! I am not concerned with the tires rubbing at all. The way I see it is, basically I raised my car by going with a 305/35/20 because they are an inch taller. So by lowering it 1/2-3/4 inch with the Steeda springs, the car itself will be back to about stock height with the appearance of the car being lowered because of the lack of fender gap and tires.

So you do not have Magnaride? The guy in the video doesn’t but it sure sits perfectly! I am hopeful mine will look the same with the two stage Steeda springs and Magnaride.

I do not have magnaride. And I won’t have to adjust my Speedo either because of the 35 series sidewall compared to stock gets me damn near exact to stock tire height with the stock 19s and larger sidewall. You could even go 30 series but I opted for a little more protection to my expensive ass wheels 🤣

Looks sick! What size are your rear tires? What springs? I have to say. I took a ruler to mine and it will sit about the exact same as that. It looked like about what you’re showing. So thanks!! Major help. Car looks so perfect!

Yeah, my Speedo is so barely off. At 75, the gps goes between 74-75, so it right on that line.

Rears are 305/35/20. Velgen VF9 20x11 in gloss black. Fronts are 285/35/20 on a 20x10. I’m running Steeda Pro Action shocks with Steeda progressive sports. They drop about an inch all the way around. They even advertise these springs can also clear a 20 inch wheel on their website!

It looks sick! I have Magnaride so I’m using their two stage springs, so I will be a touch higher.
