last question, i promise
if i get lowered on eibachs, do you think 20mm's will rub? 25 most likely huh?

btw... thanks for all the info Doggy. your help is much appreciated. this thread will prolly help all the other 18 stockies out there DDD

It's fine I'd go 25mm and worst case just cut the fender linear and bracket.

if you go sloooowwwwwwly up those driveways youd be fine right?
no rubbing @ reasonable driving speed over speedbumps/dips? or do you have to do the 'turn' into those obstacles... haha

If you're gonna keep stock rims just keep the whole car stock, you don't look cool scrapping and rubbing all over the place.

the point is i dont wanna scrap/rub while getting rid of the tire being all tucked in?
whats wrong with coils and spacers on stocks (referring to your suggestion of keeping the whole car stock)?

ummmm, meh. That's lame to say. I'm on Eibach's and stockies with 20mm H&R's and it's flush. looks great, and it has ZERO rub.
