any tire rub?

I'm considering doing springs as my next mod on the S but
don't want to have to deal with rubbing issues.

scho, car looks much better lowered!!!


MArk, I dropped mine 1.3" with Espilir springs and there is absolutly no rub on OEM rims. I had very minor rubbing on the ASA wheels I was using.

SWEET!!! was 1.3" enough to get rid of that gap
front and rear between the fender and the tire?

I was considering the Eilbach's because they
lower it 1" but if that's not enough to eliminate
that gap, I will go a little lower.

Oh yeah. It has to be the perfect drop. No scraping or rubbing on OEM stuff and I am sure on aftermarket with the right offset.

I will try to get some pics of it from the side if you want.

Please excuse the filth, but it should give you an idea of what the drop looks like with the oem wheels.

Looks good! Are those all-season tires? they look a
little more high profile than my RE050's or the RE-01Rs
I'll be putting on first thing next year.

No, they are summer only Sumitomos. Fairly sticky, but a so so sidewall. I got them cheap from Bill so I figured why not burn them off this summer and at the dragon then go back to the general all seasons that I love so much in the winter
