I'm running similar on stock wheels. And I just put coils in yesterday and destroyed my fender liner. Should I raise it... I don't wanna **** anything up

Is this too low? I just put mine on yesterday. It rubbed the fender liner every little bump. One decent bump and it tore it clean off

That's way slammed slotter^^^ I'd definitely raise it up, like I mentioned above, zero fender gap works well, still looks low but without the stress. About 26.25" from ground to fender will get you happy.

Okay. I'll definitely do that. I haven't had a chance to really test it out. Cuz my slave cylinder blew last night. Horrible luck. But I can already tell it's tooooo low

You usually don't need to remove your fender liner, however its always good to do so for that little extra bit of clearance. Just be careful because any part of your wire harness that then becomes exposed can theoretically become damaged, however its extremely rare.

As for rubbing, with the right wheel, tire, and suspension combo you can get away with ridiculous fitments without rubbing whatsoever. The fitment on my personal car was so tight in the rear that it would kiss my inner quarter panel, but it wouldn't rub away the tire lettering.

That was with two friends sitting in my trunk. With the control arm articulation I tuck wheel at max travel, all without hitting or rubbing.

Blnewt is right. I'd raise it up a bit. I wouldn't want to destroy anything else being that low. Just raise it till there's barely any wheel gap. Besides destroying my fender liners, I made the mistake of having my car sit lower than how it is now along with the ARK cat back. I'd scrape every time and had to fill in holes on the axle backs at a exhaust shop.

Yes definitely raise it up a tad, probably to the top of tire. The picture you are seeing is my car on 20's.

This is my Y-pipe after being at 25.75" and I'm thinking you're about 3/4" lower than that~

Only raise it up if you can't comfortably drive with it. If you do remove the fender liners, tuck the hood release cable so the tire doesn't chew it up.

I never understood this...if you get spacers to make it +35, why not just buy a set of wheels that are a +35?
