I have Nitto 555R 315's on the back of my 95 vert mounted to a set of 17x10.5 FR500 wheels. I currently have hard top sportlines so the car sits low and when I take a corner the tires rub the inside of the fender. Thinking about getting the pro-kit designed for the convertible to give me more clearance, what do you guys think? Also I have KYB AGX's, for the best drag launch how should I set the shocks? Hard Front/Soft Rear, or vice-a-versa. Thanks!!

I run Nitto 315-35-17's on my bogarts with a 6.75" BS and I don't have any issues. My car is still at the stock ride height though. I also run the quad shocks in their stock configuration with no problems either. As for setting the drag shock, you want them to be as stiff as you can while still being able to hook. You do NOT want the rear end to squat, you only want the front of the car to come up enough to get the weight transfered to the rear wheels.

I have Sumitome 315's on the rear & am using the Bullit suspension with no problems at all, after I modified my drivers side inner fender with a bfh, it was only rubbing a little, not much at all.

Suspension Anyone know if a stiffer rear shock will eliminate too much rear end travel?
