Dude, your wheels look similar to mine. Mine is Medator red with 20" MHT DUB bombers. I also noticed that the wheel sit better now. I mean they look after few weeks. I don't know what changed but they look better. So I need to align it now? Geeeeez.

38 is a good safe offset, that's fine. You won't have headaches after lowering if you get the 245-30 series tires. With this tire size you will also be able to ride people in the back seat. Trust me. But it doesn't sound like you really wanted to lower it anyway. Not now. Since you thought about it, you will one day. No rush.
On another note...some of you guys should not be giving advice. It's not correct which leads people the wrong way. I'm not going to point at any particular person so don't try to bait me....just uttering my .02 cents. I still have love for ya.

I won't bait you but since you use an expression (.02 cents) that I used to I start my comment I will assume that your talking about me. I would welcome correction if I have misrepresented something or someone else on this forum. I think it's important to have accurate information to help us make informed decision so if it requires pointing then point away provided its done in a constructive manner.

Wow I go to work and come back and lots of responses already!! Awww. I see what all of you mean. I have few questions:
1- I have the same issue, I hear it rub when I go in reverse, from the back tires. The front as you said also rubs only when you turn all the way, but that is lessening as the plastic is molding to the shape.
2-Does installing the NF210 require a specialty? I have few people who can do it if it isn't complicated. Is it a matter of R & R of springs? How do these springs just lower the vehicle while keeping right and not makng it rub? I mean practically. Are they curved or just shorter?
3- Should $500 be decent for the NF210's installed?

3 - 500 could be close. again it all goes back to whatever shop you take it to. each shop has different rates. i couldnt image it costing more than 300 to get them installed which is figured at a $75 an hour shop rate (1 hour per corner x 4 corners x $75/hr)

I went the cheaper route and did springs and then had to drop the real money on a full Tein set up. The coilover route will be the only way I go for now on. Springs are for dress up only.

I used coilovers in the past and enjoyed them thoroughly.
I tried springs this time and I am not thrilled with the result.
It's just a lowered stock ride. Coilovers change the handling of the car quite a bit. I won't make this mistake again.

yessir. google BC racing or circuit motorsports to get info and specs. i very nearly ordered RWD springs (tanabe NF or DF) and chanced the vibration issues, but now that we have an option specifically designed for AWD there really is no reason to mess with springs. everyone i have spoken with in reference to Tein has had nothing but good things to say, but i cannot vouch as i have not used any of their products.
