Is there any issues running Bogarts on a lowered Maro?

Blitzman · 05-11-2011, 12:37 PM

17"s no.

16"s potentially.

Solution? Notched control arms or the ones available from Spohn.

94guy · 05-11-2011, 04:48 PM

blitzman do you have any pics of factory lower arms notched?

Supercharged SS · 05-11-2011, 04:58 PM

16's yes. You can have problems. I have seen it myself. The notched it and it's been fine.

Ovenmitt · 05-11-2011, 05:31 PM

Bogarts can hit just like welds in 17". Its a diameter limitation. Backspace is irrelevant. On a lowered car, you should notch for safety/clearance or run aftermarket arms

Here's pic's of the Bogart's on a lowered Maro. Looks good, no to need to notch anything in our opinion.

94guy · 05-13-2011, 09:32 AM

it does not look likt you have weight or a load on the car?

Merc · 05-13-2011, 09:40 AM

Yes it is sitting on the wheels on the 4 post hoist.

94guy · 05-13-2011, 09:53 AM

did you pull down on the back of the car to see how much squat it has?

No. Pic's are a bit decieving, there is more clearance then the oic's show. We believe were good and to the track it will go.

94guy · 05-13-2011, 10:24 AM

when are you going to the track? my welds have plenty of clearance but 1.54 60ft makes the wheels ride on the lower arm.

Merc · 05-13-2011, 10:36 AM

You must have power adders. I don't.

It set off Stability Track warnings right away. I assume it would be someting to do with no TPMS in the Bogart's?

If the front/rear tires are different diameters, you get that. I get it with my drag pack since the front is 26" vs rear at 27.5" (factory 29.8"), the abs computer goes crazy until it just shuts of completely and you get that warning. The TPMS is its own seperate warning.

FWIW your bogarts have no more clearance then welds do, just looking at the picture. When you start seeing crazy 60 foot times, you could hit. Keep looking at them periodically.
