Pete is not around anymore. To give you an idea, a friend has 2” drop on 19s and scraps a carpet in his garage. Just for racing. I have a 1” drop on 20s and is fine. 1” is as low as I can go on 19s and scrap going down steep drive. 1” drop on 18s, a freind scraped everywhere

So my 18" inch setup may not be the same as yours. I'm running a square 275/40/18. I'm 25" from bottom of wheel to fender. From floor to fender 28". |

I just came across a couple of posts suggesting to stay within a certain ride height to keep the suspension and axles happy. Just looking to see the general number that works well without sitting on the ground.

Ok, so over stock, you have .85" drop from the tires. The sweet spot for suspension drop is right in the 1 inch range. I would be going for the both together a drop of 1.85 inches. My car right now is ground to fender 28" right on the nose. Thats a 2 " inch total drop, 1" by tire, 1 inch by suspension drop. I have about 3 inches of ground clearance. So you would be setting say around 28 3/16" ground to fender |

Then for 19” wheels figure hieght will be 1/2” lower, 18s will be 1” lower then the numbers I have above. Then you factor in the tire diameter. And remember the tires squish down about 1/4” also. |

Yes. Timing , certain control arms need to be fully lose, drive car slowly in driveway so car settles. Then tighten and get alignment. That’s basics. I had it done by shop as is best way and safest.Look up threads. Plenty info on forum
