Default Anyone with 305 DR's inside

Running the above tire (18 inchX10 rim) and am wondering how much of a lowering spring I can go with. I currently run the Roush (3/4 of an inch) without problems. Would like to go a little lower, and also lower they front (stock front ride height). So, anyone running these with anything lower than 3/4's????

305/35? You should have no problem slamming the thing, so with Sportlines it'll look great.

If you are talking about my car, bullits wouln't clear the front brakes. My options were the CCW's or some other cu$$$$tom made wheels.

Sorry a little off topic but how are those tires in the rain? I know DR stink in the rain but if you take it real easy how bad are they. I was thinking about running one set of these when I get my 18x10 DD bullits to actually get some street traction and then take it to the track. When they wear out I was going to go back to street tires.

Thanks,

Those 305's look badass, it makes me want a set of 18's again lol...

What did those rear drag radials set you back? I have sportlines so I would be extremely worried about them rubbing.

For all of us running 20's Nitto now has a 555R in 305/35/20. Mine is a Daily Driver so I dont think I would go with it because it probably wouldnt be very good in the rain.
