I was trying to sell these a few weeks ago but realized nobody was going to pony up $3800 used! so i bought the spacers and the ARP studs.. relocated the springs to the center of the axle again and flipped the rear shocks. fits well with a little poke in back but who cares these look good i think. It does not handle as sharp as it did with the Vorschlag d-force 18x10's and 275/40/18 Michelin PS4 rubber, but these super 295/35/18 Bridgestone meats should do the job. RE71-RS (yea i know they just released a new version of said tire).

Tires in back just rubbed that train transport hook eyelet with no spacer i only needed about 5mm.. but, i now have enough room to go up to 315 if i really wanted to max out the 11" rim.. at Waterford Hills that seems to be the S197 key to speed.

Anyone else have a similar combo? what do you think?

Can you say more about where and how it was rubbing in the rear? I run 305/30/19 on 19x11, 50 mm offset, cortex inverted rear coilovers, no rubbing anywhere. I’m interested in going to 18x11 setup like yours. Thx.

That looks really great, I. Glad you kept the wheels

Looks great man. Surprised on the rear rubbing. If you can get rid of the rear spacers, the front/rear track ratio improvement will help your turn-in and balance.
Not sure what free-length your rear springs are, but that is also a factor in clearance--you may be able to get the spring back onto the damper if you use a shorter spring.
Also I see you have fully intact bumpstops in the rear! That is usually one of the first things to modify by chopping em down. You must be getting pummeled on the Michigan roads

Do the rear wheels rub when the car it sitting on the ground? I thought they only rubbed on that ‘hook plate eyelet’ when the car is in the air and the suspension is drooped?
Looks great though.
