I keep thinking of raising mine up 1/2" to 3/4". my 300,000 mile CV shafts don't like reversing with the wheel turned all the way to the right. :p

I agree about the ET24....my ACS's are that offset (15x7), and a just a hair too far imo.www.instagram.com/snwmble

The PO put Ground Control equipment (and cut and welded the housings) on my 88 iX - ride height is 11 inches in the front, and I believe this is the highest it can be set. How low is too low with regard to CV damage? I realize there isn't an absolute answer to this, but I am wondering how best to set this up if
a) I want another 150-200K out of the car (currently 190K)
b) don't want to buy axles every year or 2
If this is too low, what is the most expedient way to raise it? I am guessing the best answer for a long life for the car (as long as there is little rust) is new housings and struts on the front, correct? Any less expensive way to deal with it and get a foundational, long-term fix?
