so 5cm is ok and i saw that my cv axles dont have almost any angle when car sits on its weight, so just for testing purposes why not add another lets say 2cm just on spacers nothing else , no extra spacers on subframe , no thing . Just strut spacers 7cm. can car handle that ?
lets see
so first i did rear . extra 2cm was ok but no chance to put back strut in place so was using spring compressors to put all in . and car lifted about 3cm in rear . looks nice too.
so then front . extra 2cm . put all back . oem sway bar links dont work anymore so longer ones needed or dissconected sway bar , for testing i put links from rear sway bar and they exact lenght , just they not good design, but again for testing. so i will know what lenght links i need to look now. all other things in front where on limit there. Cv axles just almost not touching control arm, and that bushing still flexed there so all good in front but all reaching its limits.
so now as i thought on diagonals rear wheel not going inside arch anymore as before it was rubbing tire , now its not.
front camber has some issues on driver side for some reason but that can be fixed with some aftermarte aligment bolts in front or some modifications , same for rear , alignment bolts is not enough to make rear wheel in perfect line with front wheels so they slightly turned, but thats again fixiable with adjustable rear link or some diy modifcation there on OEM links.
so its doable.
i mean people using 2' lifts and iron man springs there so its about same lift then.
