quick question dude...with your suspension and lowering does your wheels scrap the insides of your guards on the front alot when cornering or hitting bumps?

I have monroe shocks and superlow kingies....how do i get rid of this problem? Is there a solution? I have spoken to a few other fxgt owners and they seem to have a similar problem.

it deepends a bit on your tyre size but mine has 350lb race coils in it and trd shocks so it rolls fcuk all! it did when the suspension was factory

it depends if you can do the fabrication work but the parts cost about 500ish for the front and the rear about 400 but this car of mine is built soley for the track its probably to hard to ride around in every day unless you have soft seats ha ha

Hey Punk, no offense but from other users of Monroe shocks, I have heard they aren't that great, and that they have little rebound to them... and superlow kings? they are more for show than an actual performance increase, just low kings would have done the trick and handle better than superlows.
