Been reading lately about AWDs that are slammed and having their cv boots leaking. Will this be a problem indefinitely or is there something to do to prevent this? Just bought coils for my AWD and I want to ride pretty low (0 finger gap all around)
well from wat i experinced
i had my cv boot ripped open when i was 23inchs ground to fender
so yea i would not risk it
i went back to 25inchs and the ride is amazing and comfy
and it looks good jus need the right wheels and lip kit pretty much
With the awd I had before I went 25.5 on 19s no issue. No cv leak or vibrations. Even the guy I sold the coilover too hasn't complained about any issue.
i was currently at 23.5 on my GS before i went back to 25 (for winter purposes) however i am working on a solution that will push the axles back in place and not stretch the boot so you can ride as low as you please.
How do you guys measure it? From the fender to the bottom of the tire? It's my first time lowering a car with coils and I currently have 1 finger gap in the front and the back is a little bit lower. Does the CV boot leak only applies for AWD IS? I have a RWD. Thanks.
