Default Suspension question HELP?

I have an '05 crossfire with a 265x35x20 in the rear with a 12mm spacer and a 235x25x19 in the front. I was wondering if I will have any problems running the eibach kit? I have read past post where cryill has had problems with the h&r cup with those tire sizes. I have read about the possible friendly rubbing, but will I have any problems if so what can I do to get away with lowering it?

That's a good question. With the 20" rears you may have to lose the spacers or have them milled down to keep the fenders from crunching on the bumps.
The good news is that you can "fine tune" the ride height with various size spring pads available from Mercedes-Benz dealers.
I'm a big fan of the Eibach Pro Kit and would definitely install them. Unless you want to go 4 wheeling...

you sure you don't mean 265/35/20 in the rear? 235/65/20 would have a hard time fitting on a jeep...

i'll just assume it was a typo... measure measure measure... compress the suspension using a jack to see how your tires go up into the wheel well.. i used putty once to measure the space left after compression, just put it on top of the tire and compress the suspension up, when it comes back down you'll have a good idea of space left on a full compression..

Great thanks for giving me a start. I just don't want to buy a kit and be stuck with it rubbing and ruining everything. lol

I have 20's in the rear with very minimal rubbing. I'm not concerned.

I hate the ride though.

I'm looking for a shock set up to soften the ride with the Pro Kit & my 20's.

Any help would be appreciated.

~ i would recommend the koni single externally adjustable shock to compliment your springs.

$154 each... thru the tire rack.
