Yo ChaChi, How is does ur GS ride after the drop and the 20's? Is there any rub on front or rear wheels? There are some peeps who say their wheels rub and others who says that they do not have any rubs. I am fixin to get my new GS and first thing i will do is add 20's on the car. But I am not sure of the drop as yet.

What up big dawg, Thanks for the post. The only drawback is that it's a B__tch to keep it clean. I see you still riding the 22"s.

Default Rubbing issues when lowered

I am running Tein SS coilovers set at the almost lowest setting. I was rubbing in the rear only but had the fenders carefully rolled by a shop with the proper tool and no more rubbing ever again anywhere.(Be careful who rolls it doesn't crack the paint or leave uneven grooves on the fenders.) You can lower it as high or as low as you want but also look out for the offset of the wheels you get. Remember, the lower the offset, the more the rim will stick out and more chances of rubbing.

As far as camber problems, These cars don't have adjustable camber correction and no kits are out for it as far as i know. I had it alligned and adjusted the toe alot and the camber none since there is nothing to adjust with. The owner of the allignment told me that uneven tire wear is 80% Toe and 20% camber so its still better to allign after lowering.
