Default A problem has become a solution for me

I recently installed a set of Megan springs on my 06 and, to my disappointment, had some continuous rubbing on my rears. So we lifted it and took them off. Replaced the factory rear springs for the time being and let her back down.

My intention is to replace the defective springs, but the rake and ride the factory springs give me now is quite pleasant to me. There is wheel gap, but i'm not as critical about it as I thought I would have been.

Anybody else experience a similar setup? If so, how did your car fare?

why do you say they are defective? were they installed correctly? did you use the rear for the rear? i know some people confuse them and sometimes end up swapping them unknowingly and it causes issue.

imo i wouldnt leave the car like that.

Megan racing springs. All labeled fr/bk so no mistake. One rear was shorter than the other.
