Hell no, unless you have a death wish.but is it ok for me to drive about a half hour on the highway back to school and replace them later this week?
Be nicefocking n00bs
My Wheels are Wheel Offset: 26mm offset and Wheel Backspacing: 6.12 The rear right seems to be rubbing more, I just rolled my car about 5 feet forward and that was the only one making noise.yogibear357 said:your axles or your back spacing on the wheels are wrong. I know my wheels are 5.6 back space. Don't remember what the axles are
Be nice, I was not suggesting driving with the quad shocks rubbing I was wondering if I could take them off for a while until I can replace them.

Any tips on a skinny quad shock?

He meant take the quads shocks off.
Yes you can drive without the quad shocks. You may notice more wheel hop, but it's perfectly safe.
You could try flipping them around for more clearance.
No problemo, always glad to help. Nothing wrong with spacers, so long as they bolt on instead of sliding over the studs; the bolt on kind are even legal at most road course tracks.I was under the impress that spacers are not the best idea, is that correct?
I had the same problem, the stock quads( don't know if you still have them) to me are the best. they have a long skinny shaft and the body is small and flat on the sides, I don't know about the gabriels but the flat sides of the body I think are key if the body is round that could be a problem. the body of the shock just cleared my wheels but the stock quads seen better days. I bought the kyb ones but they hit even when flipped, the guys on here had me cut the dust shield off but still no good for my application. I found out that the later models stangs 94 up to around 2004 I think used the same exact quads they matched up perfect, looked the no different than my 1991's. I put them in and no problems.
I called steve at Tousley ford and got some quads from a 95 or 96 mustang. He gives Mustang guys a 10% discount over cost not list cost. I get just about all my frod stuff from him. The number is 1-800-328-9552 just tell him you are from stangnet. I don't know if this will what you need but I figured I would post it up anyways.
First of all. 03 Cobra wheels have more backing spacing than SN95 Cobra wheels. 17X9 SN wheels are 5.95, (24mm offset) and 17X9 03 Cobra wheels are 6.13. (26mm offset) It isn't a HUGE difference, but every bit helps.
First, this is free....flip them around.
Second, take them off, and get LCA's. They won't eliminate wheel hop, but they help. It helped mine a lot, but I still have it.
Yeah, you'll be fine. You'll get about 3/4" or more by flipping them. The rod is really skinning compared to the tube where the gas is.
