Super Sexy Slammed: Helpful Hints/Tips

[killaberna]

Maybe your rubbing because your strut is missing?

lol..that may be the case for this guy but thats not my pic, I just used it as an example..

 

[killaberna]

gotta hammer it out towards the fender because if you hammer it in your upper control arm might not clear the pinch weld

OH ok, thanks and i was thinking of cutting it off,,lol good thing i found this Super sexy slammed thread.

cutting a pinch weld is worse than bending it IMO

with everything assembled and the bumpstop shoved as far into the top hat as possible this is how far it sticks out. Should I trim some off?

it doesn't hit the top hat it goes in the top hat if the bump stop is cut

Looks like I don't need to hammer the pinch weld on the front, I'm rubbing while going up a drive way because my bump stop turned to dust. Wish they made rubber ones, guess I gotta Jerry rig something up for bump stops

those top hats are narrow inside is strut makes contact it would be metal to metal

those ebay top hats come with some strong rubber bump stumps, i was impressed

Have you gotten these on yet? I am thinking about going with the ebay top hats because I don't wanna drop so much on the GC top hats

it will fit as long as its 4x100, your need some 195-45-16's and fender rolling. at a +20 offset no extra camber should be needed, or camber kit

but what you will need is a 5mm spacer for the front to clear the spokes from the caliper. thatll put you at a +15 offset. you wont need extended studs to run 5mm.
