rears may look a tad lower than front - raising it 10mm may be the safest route, not to mention the coils may settle and lower a tad bit more after a few weeks? have u tried measuring it all around? with the rear SPC camber kit, wouldnt that have taken care of the camber more?
overall looks good though!

I can either going less wide 255/265 or try another tire with less "squarish" design. Plus my rear driver bumper liner is not straight. I may need to take it to body shop to pull it out a bit, that may fix the rubbing.
I love the stance so far, don't want to raise it up anymore. Will drive around for another month or so to see how they settle in before I make any changes.

I think it looks good. The tire gap is one finger, right? I personally would go lower and tuck the wheels in, but you have kids so that's probably not a good idea. I do think that 275 is too wide, 265 might have been perfect.

Pretty sure if I pull rear driver bumper liner out a bit, my rubbing would go away. Passenger rear doesn't rub at all.

These days tire selection has a lot to do with wheel fitment and clearance.
I would definitely down size the tire width. Start by looking at factory widths, then upsize until you get to a size the tire manufacture recommends for your width.

Damn I am jealous of you Californians and your perfect roads. Beautiful car though, looking fresh!

Not really perfect roads Eddie. The rain have created some giant potholes I've been dodging them all day. Probably leave the GS in the garage for a few days until the city get around to patching those holes.

NY/NJ pot holes are horrible. The AWD stance actually helps the suspension from taking too much of a beating and scraping my wheels/bumper. One of the reasons I didn't lower it because it gets worse during winter lol.

only to get washed away in the next rain
I'm not going to compare road conditions since I've never been to NY/NJ. Maybe our roads are equally as terrible. I will say though we have much better driving conditions for our GS year round.

Just removed RSR box from my trunk where the installer put all my old suspension parts. Damn that box is at least 150lbs - wonder if that was causing my rubbing. I know the RSR coilovers don't weight more than 67lbs max cuz UPS had that the shipping label. SPC camber arms were forged, very light vs stock. Kind of got me thinking how much weight I shaved off the GS. Weds Mavericks 709M were about 30-31lbs each, I weighted them before putting tires on. Anyone knows the weight of OEM 19" F Sport wheels? And then I also got JoeZ catback, that got to result in significant weight savings too. Kinda want to dyno this thing now LOL
