The top picture shows the height immediately after drop, and then the bottom two after the stereo and interior were back in it and I had lowered it a smidge more. Not sure that its exactly 3" ?????

Maybe my fenders were mounted different than pre-2009 cars?? / maybe my car was dropped on its head as a baby / maybe my front end was shrunk down at the factory? / not sure whats making it happen.

Believe me, the absolute last thing I want is to change wheels - I love the way my car looks.

When I chose my setup I figured I would be totally safe with +40mm and 195/50/16

Here is the current setup.

This was as soon as I put the coilovers on, it might be 2.75 inches?




This is about how it is now(probably another 0.25 inches lower), maybe close to 3 inches up front

I'm actually a dealer for them. I've heard complaints of clear coat peeling in Northern US climates, but this is usually due to the salt they use to get snow/ice off the roads.

I personally believe they are a nicely priced option. Again, I'd say go for it.

I just don't understand the rub. You are definitely lower than I've ever been, rear looks like 2.75" and front looks close to 3" drop.

You're rubbing on the plastic fender liner and not the actual fender though, correct?

Here's my current 17x7.5, +28 setup. 205/40/17. No rubbing until I get 3 passengers.





Also - look at my rear fenders in these pictures. See how they're messed up? From rubbing with my 15x7 +19 setup I tried.
