Ok, so I’ll be ordering also the H&R lowering module. I really hope that with the 22x10.5 et28 with tires 285/30/22 Continental it will not rub. What do you guys think ?

I ran 295/25/22, et30 and was dumped. Zero rubbing. You should be fine.

Any particular reason you’re going with the H&R module?


pic for reference.

That’s the only lowering model that I know. If you guys are familiar with any others on the market please let me know.

At et30..it’s a really close fit and barely flush. So close that I was gonna send them back after my test fit but I was convinced to try it with the tire on. At et28 idk...if it doesn’t rub it’ll most likely poke in the front.

Heres how it looks with the vcds drop...perfect for my taste.

I don’t have a module, but I’ve read that the CETE module is more robust because you can make changes on the fly via the app

yeah the CETE v2 module. Its a hair cheaper than the H&R module iirc and it connects thru Bluetooth and an app and you can adjust separate heights for comfort/dynamic/individual.
