Is anyone running BMR 1.4 drop springs up front with 285/35 tires? Any rubbing issues with the setup or other concerns?

I currently have Pfadt / Apex 1.2 drop springs but still have about an 1 1/4 of fender gap up front.

I installed them last month have put about 400 miles on car sense install and very pleased with ride not much stiffer than factory in all settings no rubbing issues I am running 285/35/20 and 315/30/20 and I have hit some decent size bumps and no problem F@ in New England roads :(

good luck

Had them for over 5K miles, love them. I switched to 315 rears and no issues. Read tire is also a tad taller and car has settled down further. So there is basically no wheel gap at all anymore.

Big block 427 ground clearance is 4 7/8 inches high from tip of splitter my car will probably settle a little more like an eighth or two so should end up with 4 3/4 of inch after some more miles on springs and alignment just have to be more couscous of speed bumps and inclines angles are your friend good luck
