the coilovers controll the entire suspension, arms and all, the distance between the arms and the tire is pretty much set, the only way your gonna rub, is if you like drop it to the ground.

but for 2 inches, you pretty much ok...

search the fourms for good companies for parts...

how down you wanna go ? I dropped about 2" at front (I have about a half finger gap between fender and the tire) and no rubbing or something but you MUST roll the fenders.

yeah the control arm and the tire don't really get much closer as you drop the car... however, like flyboy said... you can get pretty close. Him and I are both running 8.5" wheels, so as the width increases, you get CLOSE to that control arm...

I'm the same way, with about 1mm of clearance.
I run 235/45/17's... he's got 18's.. what size tire do you run flyboy? 225/40/18 or 235?
