i bought the car with all adjustments maxed out to make the car as low as possible....it rides like crap, rubs when i crank the wheel in both directions.
control arms basically on the bump stops

switching things around now...my goal is to just get the car as low as possible where everything is performing correctly and be able to make a proper 3 point turn or a U turn like a normal person lol


i like to lowered stance but realize the car will have to go up

Im hoping to add some global west shorter subframe bushings
replace the 350lbs springs with something stiffer

I am thinking of adding drop spindles, but then read about the TRUTURN

Im not looking to run a 275 tire...I just want to get the lowered stance and be able to turn on a 245 tire


is truturn what i need here or can I just but some drop spindles and call it a day?

thank you...Bob
The Tru Turn was designed to be able to get the steering arm higher on the spindle so that you can run more backspace as the wheel will fit over the steering arm instead of hitting it. That does no sound like something you need.

The two main obstacles you encounter when lowering a car are suspension travel and steering angle/wheel size before something hits. The suspension travel can be fixed with a drop spindle. The steering angle and wheel size both come down to how much physical space you have before the wheel hits the fender or inner fender, and the only way to fix that is to get smaller wheels, or clearance the sheetmetal to allow for more room!

Hope that's at least a little bit helpful!
