A couple of things I experienced lowering my car :

- if you have the factory windshield wiper motor cover, it will rub and, worse case, gets dislodged from its mount and lodge itself between the right front tire and fender. It’s best to remove it for now until you can fab another. If it happens while on a test drive, make sure you are equipped to allow removal of the tire.

- You may also experience rubbing of your wide 335 rear tire(s) against your exhaust as the tire tucks in (negative camber). I experienced rubbing on the driver rear with my Mindtrain exhaust and the mufflers are narrower than the ANSA. Ideally you want adjustable upper rear control arms when adjusting ride height.

- you can’t blow thru speed bumps now that your car is lowered. You’ll see.

BTW - I have the same tire size and wheel combination. The wheels are Boyd Coddington replicas from Pantera East. 17x9 fronts with 245/40ZR17 tires and 17x11 rear with 335/35ZR17 tires Kumho Ecsta.
