Default 2 inch drop with 17" rims

Hi Everyone,

I have a 2002 Accent GSI, and have 17in rims with 205/45/17.
I'm about to drop it 2inches with Intrax springs. I believe its 2inch in the front and 1.8 for the rear.

I was told i may need a camber kit, and alignment after that, and roll the fenders.

Does anyone have a similar setup?? Any problems ??

Thanks for any advice.

H

I have/ had the same set up and camber bolts are needed. My tires were 205/40 and the fenders didnt need rolled but there was some rubbing in the rear and not in a spot that can be rolled. With 205/45 u may end up needing to roll your fenders.

Ok, thanks
I was wondering if the 2inch drop would work. smile.gif
Picking the intrax springs up tomorrow, i'll see how it rides when its installed.

Thanks again.

The 205/45/17 size is gonna give you hell. That tire is too tall. Going to a 205/40/17 would help quite a bit.

Either way, you're likely to have rubbing. It'll be a matter of seeing where and making it work.
