Default Fender Mods Needed?

Currently have Megan EZ Coilovers on the car with stock settings. Anybody know if fender mods will be needed if I put my H&R 20mm spacers on front and rear? Don't want to waste time putting them on if the car will be undriveable afterwards. Won't be able to roll the fenders until sometime in the next few weeks.

Depends really on how low you go.... if you go with a moderate drop, you should be fine. I had my 19s on with 30mm offsets and had H&R springs on it and no rubbing. Now i put my EZ coils on and dumped it and ive been using my g-spiders because i sold my 19s. I'm going to order some spacers for them here in the next week or so.

Of course you'll have the usual plastic fender well rubbage, but that comes along with dumpin' your suspension. It can also be helpful if you heat your fender wells with a heatgun and push in on the fender wells to create more clearance.

I have the Megan EZ coils and I'm struggling with my fronts. My 19x8.5 are rubbing still running 235/35s and 35 offset (+3mm spacer for clearance of 350 bbk). I have raised the EZ as high as they go in the front (which is still dumped). I had no rubbing with my stocks though.
