Is that what you have done to fit the 9 inch up front? Any other mods?

-3* camber, and fender roll will do the trick. I also recommend the following if you want to get the absolute most under the car, but they are optional, the car was fine without these bits: File the fender-bumper bolt inside the fender well. Loosen the top fender bolts and pull the fender outward. Seems to do the trick just fine. As is, the fender has tons of space to clear, the issue is the bumper. If I can modify the backside/inside of the bumper cover sufficiently, I am going to run APEX's wexisting 17x9 ET30 wheel.
As stated, I am not using secret sauce parts, and I want to advance the development of the E82 as far as possible, so I am an open book. My TCK coilovers are using the TCK supplied springs, no short, custom deals, the perch is situated clearly above the tire. At 17x9 ET35, the tire will very occasionally, lightly rub the shock, just enough to smear the paint on the shock. I've hammered the car as is, no issues. I've been advised that this is not a problem. Kyle's ET33 would remedy this for those who are paranoid.
