Hey guys I have an 04 Cobra with H&R springs and AFS wheels and 315 tires. I just installed QA1 double adjustable rear shocks and before with no spacers and stock IRS bolts everything fit fine. After the install the tires are hitting on the bolts and appear that even if I had the low pro bolts it would hit on the subframe. Anyone have any suggestions? Uploaded a picture to show what I’m talking about.

Car will have more droop/travel with those shocks. Put the car on the ground or on ramps and check clearance then, with load on the suspension.

I was going to try that but the tire will dig heavily into the bolt. I started to lower the jack to test that. Hard to tell in that picture but the bolt is resting on the tire

Keep lifting. Mine does the same thing at full droop. Once there's weight on it there's plenty of clearance. Don't forget the wheel moves in an arc. As the suspension compresses the wheel will move away from the bolt.

Ended up just setting it down slowly and you could hear it catch on the tire but it did go past and now fully loaded there’s plenty of clearance. Thank you
