Does your tire get caught in the rear fender well when driving on the freeway and hitting a dip? Im having this problem with my 20s and ez's. Car looks good!
Have you rolled your fenders? That might solve your problem. If its rolled and you're still having the same issue, I would look into a camber kit. I had 20x8.5/10 + 35 all around and it was rubbing. When I rolled the fenders, it eliminated the problem but now a new problem came into play. My tires were rubber against the rubber piece inside the wheel wells. You have 3 options. You can either use a heat gun and mold the plastic piece to make it higher, raise the car up, or remove the rubber piece all together. Last option isn't a wise idea but I chose to use the heat gun.
I had mines at full stiff on stance coilovers with 10k/8k spring rate and the rides like chopped springs. The softer it is, the more it absorbs. If you're going over a small bump at 40 and your setting is at soft and at the drop you're at, your uca would most likely knock and you will have rubbing issues. As stated previously, you would have to keep adjusting and test driving to your liking. I'm currently at 6 click from soft in front and full stiff on rears. I'm still playing with mines though and I'm on stock 16 and tucking! I recently raised it to the top of the tires until I get rims. Hope that helps! 20's look good btw. I'd rock 20's cause tires are cheaper than 19's and 18's too small.. But that's just me. As far as the batwing, you can use it for cover from the sun or a coat hanger!
Thanks for your input. i will have to play with the dampening some more. maybe try full stiff in the rear and see how that feels. I was wondering if i raise up my car about 1 inch... will i need to set the preload on the springs again?

Yup. what he said. i had mine roll on all four corners and i took off the fender liner in the front. while i was doing that i starts banging metal parts that seems to be hitting the tires until its flat. no rubbing here except 3 point turns. lol!!
Toe links and RCA's next? How did the Alignment turn out? Some figs parts might help you out.
The shop near my place couldnt do the alignment. They have the machine where it attach on the outter tire instead on the outter rim. If anything I might raise up yhe car half an inch.
So I got my alignment done. Did it at Performance Auto in Fremont. My toe is within specs but man my camber is crazy. Rear camber is around -3.2 to -3.7 lol! Front is -2.3 to -2.6. Is it okay to drive like this? all I want is the toe to be within specs. Camber is already maxed out.
