no..of course you didnt make a $230 mistake..its an upgrade so its not a mistake.ahhaha..and are these skunk2's brand new??it might take some time for them to settle down..youll be alright for the first 2-3 weeks or so..

it might rub a bit..i think youll have a tight finger gap all around..you should get ur fenders rolled tho..but not too bad.

lol, true.....yeah there brand new, i dont mind rubbing a little bit, i just dont want like massive damage to the fenders or nuthn. i dont think i want to roll my fenders....ill push my tabs in if that helps, but if it became a "SERIOUS" issue id prolly buy higher springs...but ill deal with a bit of rub.....word up thanks though, you made me feel alot better about my purchase!

No one can answer your question because you didn't say what offset the wheels are.

Post your offsets. If it's going to rub definitely get your fenders rolled.

oh duh no shit, my fault....18x8 +45, 18x9 +50.....hmmm after doing research on these springs (which i shoulda done BEFORE i bought them), i notice the correct setup with 9 coils in front and 8 in the rear look fukn disgusting (sorry if anyones running that setup), but it leaves the ass sagging bad! i like the wrong way with the 8 in front and 9 in rear......but it stiffens the rear....and i dont wanna oversteer, flip my car and die.....hmmm what to do??????
