so when i put my 20 inch vossens(9.5 front) on with the combination of ksports dropped down nice and low the inner front wheel was baraly touching the lower spring perch on the ksport. so we had to lift it like 2mms so it clears. i really wanna go down in the front another 5mm to make it level with the rear. i really dont want to raise the rear to level it. i been riding around with a lower rear rake for awhile now and with the addition of a subwoofer box the rear seems like its dipping and riding sloppier. its easy to see the rear is a good 5-8mm lower then the front....... has neone used velocity spacers? i emailed them but got no reply. and what bout the h and r? which ill get from trinity. what do you think i need size wise?and do i need longer bolts for 3-5 mm spacers? just looking to clear that strut. like i said the wheel spins but its rubbing the wheel so i was thinking 3 mm would be enuff to give it that lil bit of clearance. i honestly dont know if 5mm would push the wheel out into the fender. its kinda tight in there.. than you...
