You probably could but it wouldn't be any different than raising the ride height.

It fits like this. Sorry, no dismounted photos on my phone

Edit: just kidding, 5 attempts to upload photos and they won't upload off my phone...

My KW V3 coilovers does not have enough threads to lift the collar higher than 315 tires.
Using a sleeve spacer might be another path I can take, but that eats up clearance space

Is your ride height adjustment not a function of the shock body? I haven't looked at KW stuff for the evo so I'm not familiar with it. It sounds like your height adjustment is dependent on the lower spring perch?

Yes but there's not enough threads to move the lower spring perch past .>25" tall tires and gain the clearance space occupied by the springs

Guess I'm in, I was waiting on silver to be in stock anyway.

Was thinking about their tires too, the RSRRs are cheap but they're tall and run wide, so they're more like a 285/35/18. Nah, my liners don't deserve that punishment.

Edit:

Here's a much more expensive but interesting fitment for these arms. A $2,500 increase in cost for 2.5lbs savings per corner. Ehhh, I could do it, but it would be scary parking somewhere with these since I already had my RPF1s stolen in a nice neighborhood once. https://www.rallysportdirect.com/par...5x114-gunmetal

Im actually just about to finish up 5 sets of trailing arms. I have the arms back from anodizing Im just waiting on the bushings that should be here monday/tuesday to do final assembly of them. PM me (WhieEvo08Y or anyone else) if you're wanting a set. I think 1-2 will be reserved for another guy so this batch may not last long and it does take quite a while to get to making them with all the other projects I have going. I would estimate ~4-6mo before another batch.

Kinda the wrong thread, but for the people running these arms:

Anyone here kept their fender liners running 285 and 295s? Is it even an option? I'm thinking of ordering new ones. Or maybe i should just trim the old ones so they protect the stuff up top?

I had an incident
