Has anyone dropped just the rear to level theirs out?

 

I have 7.5's with 45 offset...no rub.

 

Right - because the stock offset is 42mm - and since you have more offset than stock, your wheels are tucked in slightly more. Make sense now?

Positive offset is the reverse of normal wheel "offset."
Most FWD vehicles have positive offset wheels.

 

So Mike, If I go back to my stock 17" wheels the Gold Line's should work Right?


Also, if I am reading the threads correctly, I should get the camber adjust and shims too?

Hi Joe, I ran the Gold-Lines with my stock wheels for 6-months with no issues, and several others (with both 16 & 17's), have done so also. You just need to make sure that if you are buying new aftermarket wheels, they have the proper offset to stay tucked.

Hope it helps,

 

Thanks Mike, I just put an order through to you for the GL springs, shims, camber and sway bar! I am going to try my after market wheels, if they rub I will go back to stock until I can find some AM wheels with spec's that will work.

Got my goldlines today from autotrucktoys.com. Will be slaming it Monday!!

 

Any comments on that Mike?

 

Sure: old stock. No one has the new ones yet.

 

Joe, I don't know if you found the answer to your question and don't know if I can shed any light on it or not. I had the gold lines on my HHR and they worked out great, but I didn't know that Progress made springs for the hHR. However, knowing Progress springs I can say that they do make a quality product. I had a set of Progress springs on my Focus and they performed great. As a matter fact I've sold the car and the progress springs are still on there doing their job. -Dan
