Wheel gap

Mcollins770 · 10-28-2019, 07:22 PM

I'm sure this has been covered a few times but I can't get a definitive answer. I own a 2018 2SS rag top and looking to eliminate the wheel gap. I keep reading post about the Eibch & BMR Lowering Springs. I'm not sure what size to go with. I'm presently running stock rims and rubber. I definitely don't want to rub the fenders off from the inside nor slice into the tires. All recommendations would REALLY help me out and maybe a few pics. THANK YOU..!

The only way I would do it is install the GM performance lowering kit that comes with springs and shocks and is designed specifically for a convertible.

Ditto on the GM kit if you also want the dampers.
Otherwise, The Eibach Pro Line is a 1" drop and just slightly stiffer. Had them on my gen 5.
Personally, I love the setup on the gen 6 SS.

I went with Phastek's RST PX1 LOWERING SPRINGS to address the factory installed lift kit on the convertible, and I have been extremely happy with them, especially after a track day at Charlotte Motor Speedway and two days driving the Tail of the Dragon. 🥰

Here's a before and after comparison - although I should note that I only installed the front lowering springs. I installed them myself and like the raked (hotrod-ish) look (for now). 😋

I like it. I decided to go with a splitter so no springs for me!
