Very interesting. If they can pin point the problem, I'd consider lowering mine. However, I already rub a little with 35 series tires, so I don't think lowering is an option for me.

i told him that i do not want that 1.7 drop. he is making me a spring similar to the tein h tech which is 1 inch drop. thats the only way i will be going there.

What is he charging for this? Is he willing to make more of the 1" springs?

This sounds like an R&D activity, I don't think they will be charging anything?

Do you have any rubbing with your aftermarket wheels, without the drop?

I'm just wondering if it's unusual that I have rubbing with 20" wheels with 35 series tires. It only rubs when I turn the wheel all the way, but I'm afraid a drop would be much worse.

you should be 30 series on the front not 35 on a 20" rim. I think thats why you are rubbing.

Wouldn't it make more sense to have 30 series on all 4 tires?
