H&R SS too low?

Just had a quick question regarding tire and exhaust clearance with a set of H&R SS springs, as I'm thinking about throwing in a set while it's out of commission for the motor. I run a 315/35/17 tire on an otherwise stock suspension. Will I need to roll my fenders with this much drop? Also, how will it affect the car's launching capabilities on the track?

Thanks guys.

Well you're already pretty low man, hah. What's your setup? I hate having even the stock ride height, especially If I'm going to be rolling the T-Trim soon.

You shouldn't have clearance issues especially with the ISO's in.

They're going to kill your 60ft and drastically improve handling. Dig these things so far.

Is there any way to counter the killing of the 60'? With UCA/LCA's maybe with nice shocks and struts? I'm trying to find the perfect balance.

A friend of mine cuts 1.7s with a NA 300 hp Mach with Hoosiers, uppers and lowers, Tokico D specs and a few other things....

Lowering a car and improving your 60 ft don't really mix. The only way go get both is to go with adjustable height coilovers, and ride around with whatever height you like, then adjust them for race purposes when you go to the track.
