Yes I bit the bullet when I bought the suspension thinking it wouldn't rub but o well! 1st suspension I bought was Megans they were great but wanted cups and coils so then I bought airforce cup kit..m I did have some problems with that kit but it was installer error but i got it straight. Well UAs was cool for a little bit but had minor rubbing issues and Just started have alignment issues. So in the last 2 days I tried to find stock suspension and nothing. So OG hooked it up with bc coils and they ride nice. But they are set high with stock wheels. It's ol for now. I went thru many wheels bc I just wanted to lol the bs5 I will be getting soon will be they very last set I buy for this car..
Before this I was going to buy gs3tomw airrunner but I backed out. I couldn't justify buying another setup bc of alignment issues. To me air is air and I will have the same issues. I had it with air after this experience and I dont want it anymore..
Anyways I'll see sup in the next coming months

Tryitonce we know you love your cars, why don't you make your own thread instead of posting it here?
Op, sucks you're having issues, but I kinda agree and have been telling you since you started modding to do it right. It's not rare to mod a car and daily it and not have issues.
I think with you rolling on coils will be best for you.

so you sold your cup kits to go full air, and now going to sell the full air to ride on coilovers and go back to cups?
as for your wheels they will be awesome! im static on bc and my wheels are 9.5+15 and 10.5+25 but i am re-lipping them .5 wider all around so they will now be 10+9 and 11+19 so we will be just about the same set up

For what it's worth, I've always been jealous of people whose fenders just sit so perfectly on top of a 20" tire pokin out the side... But my car's been on springs with a 2" + drop for 4 years with no issues. Alignment is perfect. No vibrations. Decent ride. Tire wear is good.
Sure, I've got a 1-finger gap that makes me reluctant to even post a pic on the 2GS forum and get 20 posts saying "LOWER!!!!", but I've put 50k miles on my setup daily driving. As preventative maint at 100k, I did replace ball joints, tie rods, and new daizen bushings in the control arms since I wanted it to stay tight for another 100k miles.
IMO, if it's a show car, have fun with your air and your crazy low coil-overs... but if you use this car to get to work, pick up your in-laws from the airport, take coworkers out to lunch? Throw some daizen or espelir springs on for the most drop on springs and call it a day.

They are , my lowenhart bs5 are in Cali getting rebarreled!
I had 7 series wheels last year and then I sold them for real m6 wheels! Damaged 1 of the real wheels then picked up the replica m6 wheels to use the rears for my front ! But 2 days ago I sold the reps! Now I still have a full set of real m6 wheels with one front damaged wheel I need to still get rid of!
It can get a little confusing! Besides I bought 7 lowenhart bs5 for 175 lol to make 1 set of wheels! I sent those out while all the other crap I listed above happened!
