Where are the pics?? I still can't decide between H&R and Eibach.

Good to hear dude. You have 225s on the front right? 235s is probably my issue. I only rub when I am driving on the roads and go over any dips in the roads. Most often these are on the freeways when merging onto other freeways and the ramps have dips in them. Intersections have them a lot as well. I'll make sure to switch to 225s when I get new tires and have my front springs put back on. Take some pics when you get a chance!

I am actually on 235-35-19 front and 275-30-19 in the back. No rubbing at all in the back. Front rubbed on liners but not at all on the fenders. I have hit quite a few big bumps and dips and have not heard any rubbing or seen any marks at all. I need to heat gun a little more as I rubbed just a little on the liner today on a sharp turn on a hill. I think it is all good with the fsport springs and the drop is enough for me.

haha lol thanks for the advice i know i am gonna roll the fenders for sure just to be safe. i am debating waiting to get coils now cause i been reading threads saying stuff about a lexus lean. hell i dont want my car uneven makes me wonder what to do. cause i dont really want a super low drop. somethiong just to get the wheel gap to a finger is good for me. dont think 700-800 bucks for coils would be a good investment for a inch. but last thing i want is a leaning car

So wierd.. I am dropped on Eibachs which are supposed to be the same drop as F-Sports and I am running the same set-up in the front yet I rubbed like CRAZY (as you can see from the pics).. That is so strange..

Your car looks great though.

Thanks for the comment. I do not know why you rubbed and I am not. Doesn't make much sense. Hopefully you get yours solved
