Thanks Stew.
I know it can be done with little heartache and can protect the fenders for the most part, I think i am just stubborn and want to tuck to air out a little lower too haha. Since i dont do crazy stretches (255/35 on my front 11" and 275/35 on my rear 12") it wouldnt work out as beautifully as say your setup that at least looks like it rests fender between tire and wheel lip (bravo). If i understand your advice correctly it would mean i would be driving on less-full bags though, right? I lowered my coils a lot just so i can drive on stiffer bags, i like the feel of it better oddly enough haha.

That puts the fender about 1-1.5" off the rear lip and I don't really ever bottom out maybe on freeway dips. Its already pretty stiff. Way more stiff than my 10k/8k Megan LP coils.
Also, I wish i could rest there, but I've put a ton of work into being able to drive the car aired out if need be, or for show :P without ruining anything. That'd negate those efforts. I have a tiny bit of barrel showing, but not enough to fit the fender anyway.

Yes, I definitely understand the urge to go lower.

This guy moves fast, rears are almost done. I am heading to go see the car tomorrow/saturday to finalize small design so he can wrap it up and paint it. Wekfest 17 days away! 
Probably going ot have him raise rear quarters and rework the wald trunk too if he has time
