Nice setup. One question... did you use the stock hangers when installing your WSII's? I just installed mine and I'm working on alignment issues.

are you sure your dropped 2 1/2" cuz it doesnt look it to me, you shouldnt have rubbing issues, im on the same offset and width, with a 235 and no rub, i might even be lower too

Yes, i'm using stock hangers. What i did was loosen the bolt that holds the muffler, have another person lift the mufflers close to the rear lip and tighten the bolts while holding that person held the muffler. Then used a 2 in hose clamp to tighten to same height.

thanks for all the compliments guys. it looks much lower in person. Its probably close because my front is 2 1/2 and rear is 2 1/4. I didnt go any lower on the rear due to cus hav a heavy speaker box in the trunk and occassional have friends in back seat. But yes, it did rub. I'm suprise it didnt rub for you phrosstzo if your runnin the same set up. Exhaust is apexi WS-II catback.

I think the camber kits are needed. It will prevent the tire from wearing out unevenly.

Sup HockeyMan, I would love to come to the meet and meet the DFW crew. However, my hectic schedule as a student and working every weekend gives me no time to attend one of the DFW meet. But i would like to go sometime. I work at Baylor of Irving, maybe i might see you on the road sometimes
