I have Kenny Brown lowering springs and wondering what would be the widest rims & tires I could fit on the rear? I'm concerned that the car is to low to put 10.5" or 11" rims and having the tires hit the fender. Does any one have 10.5" or 11" on there Kenny Brown lowered 01 cobra and any pics?

No help here but..........

I was wondering how you like your KB springs? I have a set for the '01 'vert on order & can't wait for them to arrive.

You like them? Good drop? The other owners with them seemed to be happy.

I just installed 10.5 rears with 295/35-18 on today. No clearance issues. Yes, I do have Kenny Brown CSR springs. Looks real good IMO, but I am biased:D

WHITESNAKE2001, the springs are a little too low for me, thy look much better than most lowering springs but I find always having to watch where you are going and what you are driving over. my friend went with the eibach's and he scrapes much less than I do when we go out cruising together.

No, I did not have to change the IRS bolt. The wheel spacers came off when the new 10.5 wheels went on. Thanks for reminding me to change my sig. No more wheel spacers with the new wheels. I did have 25mm spacers with my old wheels.

We checked at the tire shop (I had new tires mounted on the new wheels today). Close but not touching. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow. Car is tucked in for the night.

Sure... Post the pics I'm interested. They probably set you back around 3k huh?


On another note, do you still have pics of your power pipe? I was thinking about having one fabbed for me by Watson Engineering, would like to check out some pics again. Spring is near :D



Thanks,

Rick
