If you went with the Eibach or Tanabe's do you think you would still have had the rubbing problem?

I think Tanabes would be nice with 20s... Tanabe Rears are my favorite height of the springs that are out now... Front could be a lil lower but its still nice...

Very nice looking wheels. Too low for my taste though.

Very clean look. I'm looking at same wheel, but some sort of custom color.

Once again, there is NO RUBBING. There was some rubbing but the guys at Forged took care of it. The rub was a combination of agressive offset and lowering. I doubt the Tanabe's would rub but the Eibachs might in really harsh conditions. Don't let that affect you though, now that Forged has discovered what could rub, you'll no what to remove if needed.

have you checked to see if it's rubbing that soft fender lining on the rear? you might not feel it rubbing since it's soft. would probably rub a hole in it if you were

edit.. nevermind, i read that he did some trimming there too.

any chance at getting pictures of how much they had to trim?

Yeah, it was a little low for my taste too, but I had the choice to either go with it or put the stockers back on. Its better this way. I think its not as low as it seems too. Check out these close up pics and follow the curve of the tire..you can see that the top of the tire is right at or just below the fender, it just seems super-tucked because the wheels are so big.


I'll try to get some better pics but its hard b/c the car reflects so much light.
