Any rubbing with the tires?

I'm planning to switch out my eibauch springs for the h&r cup sport kit. Anyone have any pics on how it looks like. The kit drops your car 2 in and currently my eibachs only drop me 1.2 in.

Suspension help (in the form of an H&R Touring Cup Kit) arrived yesterday. I'm probably going to hold off on installing until I source a pair of adjustable rear lower control arms, so that rear camber can be brought into spec after lowering. At that point - he's DONE. Really. Too much money into this sled already, and he'll be perfect (for me) at that point.




Nice ride!! Going to look great when it gets dropped a little.

That JCW kit looks sooooo much better without the JCW rear bumper. Love the looks of it with the S bumper.
