At stock ride height, how was the fit?? Any rubbing or did they stick out a ways past the fender in the rear? The front isn't a problem, but I'm concerned about the rear as I don't really want them to tuck the tire when dropped due to camber issues...

They wont rub at all at stock height but it does look a bit 4x4 in my opinion. To get hte look right you need to be lowered a little bit at least. I have my camber at about 2.8 degrees and I haven't had any problems with premature tire wear. Then again I don't drive the car around too much, 6-8k a year tops and I change wheels all the time so tires never really get old. If you were lowered a lot the fronts are harder to fit then the rears if you want it real low. I need a new fender thanks to my EMOS...oh well I can always use a reason to mod something.

Sara, what did you lower on? Just springs, or something else?

Yeah what springs you using Sara? Looks about like what I'm looking for.

Pretty please, could you take a couple pics straight down the side of the car for the front and the rear so I can see how much they tuck or how much they stick out from the fender. Thank you dear!!

Tell me how those ride for you.

I just noticed something the other day, the gap between the fender and the tire on the rear is not the same on either side! I can fit all my fingers in the gap on the driver's side, but on the passenger's I can't fit even the tips. Should I have someone reinstall the springs?
