I'm running the same size spacers and springs as you, and had no rubbing until this past weekend.

If I was going slower I don't think it would have rubbed at all.

Looks like I spoke too soon. I'm rubbing in the rear when going over large dips. But, I have a feeling it's because I currently have blizzak snow tires on the car which are a little chunkier.

Yea I should have clarified on that last post, when I hit the dip I rubbed in the front. So far no rubbing whatsoever in the rear, and I'm running stock size Michelin PSS.

For those of you with the swift spring drop with the spacer install, how is clearance compared to stock? I understand it's only an inch drop, but how is the day to day? I really want to go this route, but being in New York I really do not want to limit myself to where I can drive.

Ride feels almost exactly like stock, just a tiny bit stiffer. I'm very happy with the way the car looks and drives like this.

For anyone who is interested, I'll sell you my "auction site" ones (link from the first page) front and rear for $50 for all four plus shipping (probably ~$15-20). I got these as a temporary solution as I waited for my aftermarket wheels to be completed. I was happy with these and had no issues. Feel free to shoot me a pm.

Do you think 25mm front and 20mm rear will work?

Will 25mm front and 20mm rear work?
