Hi Fellas,

Looking to lower my beast with some Eibachs and put Turner Motorsport 12.5mm all around (they don't make a 12mm). Will they rub? I have stock 19in. wheels and tires on. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Depends on your tires. PS2's no something else maybe. PS2's have a very rounded sidwall compared to other tires of the same size.

not a chance. I have 15mm spacers in the front on my OEM's with PS2's and I feel like I could go with 18mm spacers in the front.

I also have 12mm spacers in the rear and I think I could go with 15mm's as well (but that would be close).

Thanks Fellas. In my research on this board, I didn't find anyone using more that 12mm in fronts. Didn't know if that .5 was going to make a difference.

Thanks for the quick response. Ordering today!

You have nothing to worry about in the front. If anything, you may get a slight rub in the rear. I have 12mm spacers all around with H&R springs and previously never had any rubbing. However, after replacing my PS2's with "non starred" PS2's, I occasionally have a slight rub in the rear on really hard bumps.

I have them with an RDSport drop which is the lowest and I have no rubbing on PS2, Conti, Hankook, or Nitto's except in very very extreme bumps. Had it up to 190+ with no rubbing or vibration. Awesome product. Highly recommended.

Well, the Turner's are on back order for about 3 weeks. Placed order for Macht Schnell 12mm's. I hear great things about these as well.

Thanks fellas for the guidance!
