Lowering Springs Without Spacers?

alecm2 · 12-23-2021, 10:39 PM

Does anyone run lowering springs without spacers? if so i would be curious as to what it would look like. I plan on running AST currently

That's the perfect thread for you. He's got pictures without spacers and he'll add pictures with spacers soon for comparison.

I think it'll look better with spacers

I bought wheels. Better offset is my spacer 😝

I dont have any pics of my cars without spacers and lowered but the "super tuck rule" applies IMHO so spacers are a must.

Getting that perfect fitment is the goal right?

But how does it look from a side view? I personally think it looks weird with no spacers.

Please excuse the Subaru in the front lol It looks great with spacers. I just chose not to go with em.

No problem on running springs without spacers. Keep it mind the car looks much better on lowered cars appearance-wise since wheels are now closer to the fenders.

We use Macht Schnell Competition spacers on all of our builds.

No. I'm lowered on ASTs with P Zeros. I have 10/12 MS spacers (10s up front).

No rub.

I think that actually looks real good. Have a straight on side view in better lighting to see how the tire to fender gap looks?
