How do you feel about the ride with the Tanabes? I just lowered mine with the Tanabes yesterday and feel the ride to be a bit bouncy.

I just had my car installed with the Tanabe springs, it's little bouncy with the low profile tires I'm currently running. When I was running the stock wheels it wasn't too bad, anytime you change the geometry of the front end it will effect the ride.

rub or not pretty much depends on widths and offsets. as long as the tire sizes chosen correctly, how wide and how much the wheels stick out determines if they will rub or not

I have 22x9 in front with a 245/30/22 and in the rear I'm running a 22x10 with a 285/25/22.
I asked about the rubbing because I was taking a sharp turn the other day and heard some rubbing coming from the rear, there were no passengers in the car.

in that case it could be the offsets. try to take a look at the tab where the rear bumper meets the fender. a lot of times that's where rubbing starts
