Canso's new shoes REVISED



Sorry, I had posted this earlier this month  (August) and did not notice that the image I had intened to include was not attached, here is the image I wanted to show...

 

 

I had posted earlier in the year on my new rims, tires, drop spindle disc brake kit, etc... I'm still working out thing's but here's the latest after I dropped the back end as well.

 

I am still working some clearance issue's on the front, one side rubs a tiny bit, I've looked at rolling the fender lip but don''t have access to this tool, so I've been looking closely at merely trimming a little of the access on the inner fender lip in the middle with a grinder/zip cut, I'd clean it up leaving the trim intact and not noticeable at all.

 

Any reason I wouldn't do this and any suyggestions here appreciated.

 

Thanks

Tony

      Beautifull car!!    why CUT it up???    

     Why not fix the first mistake and change to normal ride height??  

     cars "looks like" the front springs are shot ....

     DROPPED SPINDLES are for rat rods and Hot rods    not nice Canadian Ponchos  

 

     (you asked for suggestions-- hmm )

If that is a clean car I would not cut a thing.On the other hand if it already has a fair amount of cheese in it go ahead and have fun..

I like the lowered look, and already spent the money on the drop spinde/disc brake kit.
I had the same problem when I used 1.5" lowering springs before installing the disc brake/drop spnidle springs and was using ralley rims.

After the install, I changed out the springs because the front end was even lower and it raised it up nicely with a new set of factory height springs, but still rubs a tad bit only when turning sharply on one side.

I like the look
I have tried the most offset I can get on a rim
I researched drop spindles vs cut springs etc... and felt this made the most sense.

I'm using a BFG 195/60R15 on the front.
BFG only makes a 155/80R15 as the next option, but I didn't want the cheese cutter look.

The stance looks great. I have heard of people using a broom stick to roll the fender lip for clearance issues.

winkDam that car looks great with the rim combo you have ,and the stance is nice . I like stock but that little bit of rake is nice just gives the car attitude.
I must agree never cut if you can avoid it, way back we used rolling pins/bats whatever fit to roll the lip. Got to be really carefull with the paint and have lots of patience.
By rolling it can be reversed with some care.
