Pfadt stage 3 suspension kit with 10.5 in rims all the way around
Okay guys here's the deal I have a 2013 camaro ss I have 20x10.5 (all the way around)(275/40's in the front and 315/35's in the back) I was wanting to do the pfadt stage 3 suspension kit but I noticed it comes with 1.25 lowering springs will this work with my rim and tire combo? Btw I noticed if I try to do a hard sharp turn it will rub a little bit is there anyway I can install the whole kit and just not install the springs?

If you rub now, you will definitely rub when lowered.
Yes, you can install the entire kit without the springs. Many people have bought the full kit, then sold the springs because they either don't want to lower it or because they already have something done (other springs, coilovers, air-ride, etc).

Where is it rubbing on what wheels? Your offsets aren't right.

You could definitely install that package without the springs and be just fine, but the problem is getting your hands on that kit as Pfadt has closed their doors. Unless you can find someone who has left over parts (very unlikely) you will have to find an alternate solution. Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

I think it rubs right there on the top fender well I'm not 100% sure I've only heard it rub like 2 times and that's when I was trying to do a donut and the other time when I was in a hard sharp turn

Apply masking tape all around your wheel well and then do some lock to lock turns in a parking lot then look at the tape for marks. Do you know your offset? I have a giant tire compared to yours up front with no rubbing but its a custom offset.

I have that kit installed with 10.5 wheels in back (315's). Fronts are 9" (275). No rubbing issues in tight turns except in the back if I hit a low spot in the road at moderate speeds. Of course my rear offsets are too low +23.
Even with the correct front offset (+23 or +35) your going to rub with a 10.5 inch wheel. |
