i need this done bad. that damn bolt has eaten up the hell out of my tires. + super embarrassing with a girl. "excuse me dont mind the rubbing grinding noise, perfectly normal." I personally can live with it, the passengers and guests in my car dont like it... lol

This is a great thread...BUT no one has answered the ongoing question of will it still rub after the bumper tab is relocated/ removed...The answer is yes...Ive gotten my fenders rolled/ shaved and have also done the bumper tab relocation. It still rubs on hard corners, u-turns, pulling into driveways..but I will also mention that I am running 20's and a 35 sidewall..Any lower and the tire itself will rub the bumper and fende...Is there a few millimeters here and there that I can shave and dremel and bang with a hammer to get the clearance I'm looking for? Probably Not.
For everyone else like me reading this thinking there is more room in there after the relocation..there isn't...And when you see people slammed to the ground just remember they usually have bagged cars that don't drive like that..The only last way I can think of is super stretching the tires.

the rubbing noise you are talking about is going to be there on any lowered car, it is just something you will need to either get used to or raise the car back up...go out to your car and with it sitting there, turn the wheel all the way to one side and look at how much clearance you have with the fender, then imagine driving and hitting a bump...
you just have to go slower when turning sharp and pulling into driveways...or go air

I want to go air one day but funds are towards a supercharger kit at the moment.
But is the ride quality with air really that much better? Also from what I've read can't I put air on my current coilover setup?

I have to run that as I am AWD and have to keep the same rolling diameter from front to rear...The rears are 30 sidewall.
