Did you lower your GS? What size rims did you go with? Looking good.

Do you live in the Bay Area? Any issues with rubbing yet? How's the ride with the NF210's? Who installed your springs?

Live in Central valley, but i work in the bay area so basically i am in the bay area all the time. It does rub little in the front. Motorsport Technique in Hayward did the lowering, Tim lowered my car. I know Tim over 6yrs. He does good work.

I've been contemplating lowering my GS with staggered 20's but am concerned about rubbing and wheel damage fron uneven pavement, potholes and railroad tracks in the Bay Area.

Your tires rub a little in the front, only on turns or when it bottoms out on a bump? There are guys who have the same size wheels on DF210's (lower than the NF210's) and claim they don't rub, using 245/30/20 in the front and 285/25/20 in the rear. What size tires are you running?
