Is there any rubbing???? I know it seems like you are not really driving the car to much because of the weather but any feed back would be great

No rubbing at all. The guys at D2 hooked me up with the correct wheels and tires.

Wow, looks great.

How do you like the springs in terms of ride comfort (vs. stock)?

dont waste your time and money. With the larger wheels we have already lost enough power to the wheels. Adding bigger rotors etc increases unsprung mass and just slows the car down more. The stocks are adequate imho. I would only go to larger brakes if I added some power to the car. In fact with the 22s we have taken power to the wheels away

The larger the wheels you go, the more the need for bigger brakes to stop the rotational weight

on a track yes but for normal street use the stocks will be more than fine. Its more of a cosmetic upgrade for a car like this

Thanks you all for the nice comments

The springs ride good, I think it's a tad more bouncy but the roads up by me are pretty bad. Still rides very smooth. If someone is looking to road race the car I'd go with coilovers. If someone wants to lower the car for wheels and retain a nice ride then I'd get these springs. I'll have to check but I think I bought the springs for $250 shipped.
