I have a family with a 5 month old, how bad would you say the rubbing is up front? You say it rubs when it bottoms out, how many people are in the car when it does that and is it significant or do you really have to listen for it? Do you know where it's actually rubbing? You didn't mention turning, would it rub on a full u-turn? Sorry for all the questions but I just want to make the best decision.

You can hear the rubbing when u bottom out but only in the front, it does rub some times when i make u-turn or getting on the freeway from over pass. The rubbing inside wheel wells. I would say if i had to give you percent how many time it rubs on the night out i would say on 50 mile journey i say about 3 percent depending on where u are in the bay. I know rubs sometimes, but i am really happy the way car feel and looks. If it wasn't for the rubbing i would think the car was not lowered because rides like stock. Good Luck with your project.
Do you think your rubbing could be related toward the wheel offset? I know they were custom made wheels, Modulare's are very expensive and look nice but I heard that some mfg's have a more ideal offset for larger wheels on specific lowered vehicles (for fitment reasons). FYI, I just got my car lowered this weekend, thanks for the recommendation. The guys at Motorsport Techniques did a great job.
