Not really use them to lower unless I show it one day but rather to make it stiffer than the stock suspension. I think I'm just going to roll the fenders though. Its a cheaper fix obviously and the tires already look low enough because they are bigger.

Most coilovers are some lower than stock at their highest setting. Anyone have a good baseball bat to roll with? I want to watch.

Lease car. Be careful with body work!!
Keith is right though, most coilovers still sit slightly lower than OEM spec.

Another thing to think about with a stiffer suspension. Think about drivability factor,personally, I couldn't handle too much stiffer than the OEM S2000 on these jacked up roads.

Another reason that coilovers won't help is that your tires are flexing some in the turns and causing the rub.

Last time I went into the shop to get my Si's fenders rolled, they told me it's safer to cut than to roll so the paint doesn't chip off. I had that done and it turned out great. I had no more issues and the paint was fine until I got T-boned.
