One more question about lowering!

[CrownMotoring]

Ok, so I put my 22s on yesterday w/ 255/30 and all was good. I had purchased my eibach kit about 2 months before they finished building my wheels. Anyways, I was checking out the gap between the front tire and the bolt that comes down from (what I think is) the control arm. There is only about an inch gap there. The eibach kit drops the car 1.6". Will this bolt be a problem? I have seen countless members post their cars with the drop and have never heard anyone mention this bolt. Maybe it won't be a factor, but to me it looks like it won't be able to go that low. The rear is fine, just the front 2 are what worries me. Am I going to have to return my kit?

no it will always be the 1 inch space due to the fact that the arm will rise up iinto the wheel well when you lower the car.

I've had this kit on for about a month and a half now with my 22"s, I have driven from Montreal to Vancouver which is cross-Canada and been on bumps, railway lines and of course the famous Montreal roads which are worse road conditions than driving Offroad and everything is 100%. They do not rub or anything, it seems like the gap is so little that it will rub but it really doesn't.

That bolt is a part of your suspension so it moves with your wheel.
never have to worry about it.
