Is rubbing normal on NF210s?
So I just lowered my 2013 GS F Sport and noticed it rubs when I drive over a bump, is this normal? The car has 70K miles on it, so I am guessing I need to replace the coils, but before I did this I was wondering if it was normal or not. My springs are the Tanabe NF210. Thanks in advance

the guy who installed my springs said the driver side leaked a little, but thought I had more time before they needed to be replaced. Wasn't sure if getting it aligned would somehow fix it? I'm new to lowered cars so again not really sure what to expect.

Rubbing in the front, and when I look at it it seems to be hitting the wheel well,, I am not sure about the off set, but my buddy at discount confirmed they fit before we ordered them. I think it was 35 in the front and 40 in the rear, but need to confirm with him.
The rubbing is does not happen all the time. I am doing the brakes on Friday so hoping to see where the rubbing is when the wheels are off.

Most people would not rub on this setup so I would take the wheels off and find exactly where you're rubbing. It sounds like the inside fender liner, could be a minor fix if so. With the wheels off check for any leaks on the shocks as well.
This weekend, I'm upgrading to 20x9s +35 offset with 255/30/20s in the front and 20x10s +45 offset with 275/30/20s in the rear. NF210s as well. From my crazy extensive research, I shouldn't rub.

what brand tire? you might just be rubbing because you're running a 245/35/20. I've ran a 235/35/20 on a 20x9 +30 with MINIMAL rubbing on the fender liner but after the liner got shaved away from rubbing, no more issues. Its most likely that corner piece bump that covers the bumper to fender bolt.
