nice ride, but you have to drop you car. it is how it is designed do L-tuned drop a few inches.

are your rims staggered setup? if not it shall turn without any rubbing. how thick/size is your lowenharte ( it is lowenhart rite? ) we can help if we have more infs

You should not rub the kit with the car lowered. I had the WIN kit until a couple of weeks ago, I have 20x9(F) and 20x10(R), with 255(F) and 285(R) tires, with the car slammed(no gap at all, just tucked)...My car never rubbed the kit at all. You will need to trim some of the plastic out of the front wheel well liner, but nothing significant. You might also have to roll the rear lips, depending on your offset and your tire size.

Drop it down, you will not have any special problems due to the kit. Any rubbing you "might" have will be the normal issues that we all have to deal with, not kit specific.

Cars looking good by the way!

What's causing such bad rubbing? Are you sure they put the kit on right? I have a 01 GS430 and I want to do the same set up (20's and a WIN kit) but I also wanted to do an L-tuned drop. I'll probably get my rims and Ltuned drop first then see if I want a kit.

Looks really tight! Strikingly similar to a CLK I think (from the rear)...
