I want more tuck out of my bagged 300c

Right now im bagged on a uas kit, had the kit for about 7 months without a problem. Id really like my car to get lower though and tuck more of my 22's. do running aftermarket shocks/struts make a difference? whats the lowest 300c on 22's youve seen? i heard of guys cutting the front fenders out or something along those lines.?

Cutting is your only option. I have aftermarket struts and it really doesn't sit any lower because the tire still sits on the fender when laid out.

I don't think putting aftermarket struts/shocks would make it ride any lower....but I'm not too sure....

I'm with Grounded on this one....but you could always go to the junkyard and buy some......

























15" rims and tires.
Make it ride lower.

It all depends on what size tire/wheel your running and what is keeping you up.

If your on a 30 series tire, your rear shocks are keeping it up. here is a pic on 22's with 30 series and no cutting, just swaped over to the Koni's




To lay the pan down on the ground, typically for say a 24" wheel, they will cut and raise the inner fender wells and cut the upper strut tower for the arm the come up more in the front and have to go with a shorter shock in the rear.

attached is some cut pictures on 24's

When I went to Baker College in High school for Automotive, a kid there has airbags on his s-10 and he replaced the wheel wells with trailer fenders to help his tires tuck more so they wouldnt rub.

Hmmm, that looks awfully familiar. That kit came off of Simans82's 300 on to my charger. The only change was the Koni's which got me noticeably lower. I would say the Koni's paired with a 30 series tire will get you there.

Most people with bagged trucks do this, I did as well. Difference between them and us is that our inner fenders are structural. They support the strut up front and shock in the rear. I get pretty close to laying on my stock tires. I can dump it all the way and still roll without rubbing the tire on the fender.
