315 fitment and the quad shocks

[Sinister SN95]

Hey all... got another question for you. i was looking under my car, and it really doesnt look like my 315/35/17 Sumitomos' are going to fit... it really appears like they will hit the quad shock under there...

i was told there is a way to reverse the quad shock if it does hit? has anyone done this or know how its done???

and i also heard you can jsut remove the quad shock totally, but i'm afraid to do that for future problems...

any replies are much appreciated!

thanks!

Have you looked into wheel spacers? I would see if wheel spacers would be safe to use in this situation.

Also is you car lowered?

car isnt lowered, yet. i'm saving up for a bullitt suspension


and i'd rather not have to put wheel spacers on there with the 315's... looks too big and goofy, ive seen it on another car... but it looks perfect without them

It ought to fit with no problems. 315/30/18 michelins fit on my Mach which is essentially the same drop as the bullitt package you want. Don't get a spacer, because you don't need it. If the quad shock is really in the way, just take it off. It's not going to make a ton of difference in the ride.

Only take the quad shocks off if you have aftermarket LCA's. As for reversing the shock, you just unbolt it, flip it around, and bolt it back in.

no aftermarket LCAs... i might invest in them when i do the bullitt suspension as well just so that quad shock wont be necessary at all...

thanks

Most people simply flip the quad shocks so that the shaft side (which is smaller in diameter) is where the tire would rub. Take your wheels off and have a look. It will make sense. It is very easy to do.

If you have aftermarket lower control arms, then you can just get rid of the quad shocks all together.
