what brand of tire are you using? i noticed some tires are fatter than others. are you rubbing in both front & back? do you think a less "aggressive" drop (say the soon to be released Tanabe spring's 1.1 /1.2" drop) would be okay w/ your 245/35 & 285/30 setup?

If your going to use the Tanabe Srpings, you will be ok running the 245-35-and 285-30.
Also using the cheaper brand tires, the side wall is fatter. If you dont want fat side walls,
go with Nitto, Pirelli , Falken ,V12 " 50/50 on the side wall "

With the Tanabes you will for sure not rub! I am running the Falken 452's. Im pretty happy with them so far.

DJspeak, man, your car looks great. Makes me think about tapping those kid's college funds. "why am I dumb , dad. Who cares, look at how good our car looks."
Enjoy it man, looks cool.

I don't even know to be honest with you, but it is dumped! Im guessing at least 2 inches. The guy who made them, made two ride heights, and I wanted the more conservative one but he sent me the low down ones by mistake. Ride quality suffers so I am just waiting for the Tanabes.
