Having the front ride noticeably lower than the rear?
I wont even touch on the fact that it looks retarded and I highly doubt it's safe either. I don't have any hard facts to prove it but it just doesnt seem safe to me. The gap isnt that bad. Just sell the rear tires. How much tread is left on it? |

because spring rates and ride height should be somewhat matched as a perent change from the factory settings front and rear to preserve some sort of a decent ride. Sure you can just swap the fronts, but why? you'll lower the front and increase the spring rate up front. without increasing the rear, you induce more understeer. Then again that doesn't sound like an issue for you as you have 275's in the rear (more understeer). I wouldn't do it, but its your car.....

Doesn't just depend on his offsets? I have the m6 reps with 275's +38, no spacers, shouldn't I be able to run sports without rub? |

You can run 275's but most people rub with this setup on a lowered car, especially over bumps or with a car full of passengers.
