Sorry I missed your Q.
Thanks
After lowering 2 of these similarly on stock a-arms and stock reared and not frame notched the best I have been able to get is 5" BS on the back and 4.75" BS on the front. Thats what I have on this one.
I thought Id update on the ride height. I didn't like the Eibach height on the fronts with the 255/35/18's. The tires are a little short and could use less wheel well gap. I cut the front Eibach springs 2/3 coil and it dropped it about 1.3 to 1.5" which worked great. I will say I hit the bump stops more but it still rides the same. No rub. I took out the rubber spring bushings on the rear. The backs are rolled. No air bags but a nice pinion snubber keeps it from rubbing. Had 4 men in the car and no rub.

I think that would be a great idea. Front looks a little high, the picture angle doesn't help either. Really like the Kenne Bell air dams. You have an extra passenger side one?

No but Im not sure I like them.
Thinking about selling.
Ill let you know if I do.

Bogart Force 5s. 15 x 3.5" fronts, and 15 x 9" rears with 4 1/2" bs on a 275/60/15 MT Drag Radial. It's still got to come down 2" in the front, and 1" in the rear, once I get a chance to swap all the new suspension parts.

Looks like this Technical info thread on wheel & tire applications has gone a long way in helping people see what wheel & tire combo's work with what suspensions!

Guy's, Please copy & paste the info in the very first post of this thread and then add your info into the related area's so everyone can see just what your wheel, Tire and suspension spec's you have..... This is what will help people out looking at this thread...

Very nice. I've been dying to see a turbo regal with those wheels on it.
