Hey guys I have tanabe df210 springs coming to me right now with kyb gr2 struts but I'm a little concerned. My 6gc wheels and tires are off a 7gc gts wheels and tires... Which are 16" wheels if I'm correct... Now the tanabe df210 says they drop 2.2" front and 1.5" rear. Will my front wheels be hitting my chassis? I measured it but it seems really close and it's not an exact exact measurement so I'm just wondering if anyone else did this kind of drop and will I make it without hitting the chassis? Any pictures?

Thanks
Gerald

That mostly depends on the camber, not the spacers. The spacers just bring the wheels out horizontally. But those springs shouldn't drop it enough to where a normal alignment can't adjust the camber. Even then, there's always camber bolts. But you won't need camber bolts.
