Filling the fender gap, 05 Sportivo

[dannydn]

Hi all,

I have Eibach Pro-Kit springs installed, although they are great, they aren't low enough for my liking...

I know if I go any lower it'll probably be an annoying daily, but I really want to get rid of the fender gap (see below).

Any suggestions as to fill this void?

Thanks

Lol your missing a wheel nut

[dannydn]

haha yeah the screw actually snapped off, yet to have time to get it replaced

[jaay]

The stud you mean? I'd probably replace that before filling your fenders. Just to be safe man because anything can happen!

Lol how did u snap it?

Just lower it more if u wanna get rid of the gap, it's sitting pretty high still. Most people including myself drive daily a few cm off the ground. Grow a pair :P

needs moar low.

At 70mm height you'll still clear almost anything unless you are driving a Camry or chaser... yet that still doesn't stop them!

I've got lows with 17's profile 45. No gap.

Use the finger test !

in that case, anyone want to buy a moderately new pair of eibach pro-kit springs? they've been on less than a month haha

Lol how did u snap it?

broke the stud whilst tightening it when I was putting the wheel back on after spring installation

Too much muscles mate.. 115nm I think is all that is needed

The old style Holden cruze only takes 85nm!

Also what's the springs rated at? Ie how low? And how much

[dannydn]

advertised as 1.1" front and rear drop but I'm settling at about 1.2 / 1.3"
