Yes...I am currently running at the lowest setting on my Tein CS (without the SS kit) and on my factory 17's. I do not rub at all. If your overall wheel and tire diameter is larger then your stocks and/or the offset is more aggressive then stock then you may experience rubbing.
With 20's I rubbed while turning and driving up steep driveways.

The JP SS kit are drop brackets which drop the car an extra inch at all 4 corners. It works with all UCF30 and UCF31 regardless of what suspensions you're running (air suspension, coilovers, stock struts, etc).
Try doing a search or checking out my previous posts. I posted this up in earlier posts (with pics).

We have a few LS customers on BC Racing coilovers.
Compared to most others, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last longer.
Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.
Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartirdge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier and quickly.
Feel free to PM us with any inquiries. I have personally run BCR's on 3 of my vehicles and the CMS STi runs a BCR ER series.
Also FYI - Pillowball bearings will provide a more direct and solid feeling in your suspension but they will also make the ride a bit more harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owners like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.
