Umm, it actually rubs how it is right now... though not too often, but if I corner hard, and hit any sort of blemish in the road, it'll rub. I plan on removing the plastic fender liner, and rolling the fenders... eventually. Likely in spring. You're running stock wheels, right? If I was on stock wheels, I could drop it another 2", lol... but I'm running 235/45/17's, and my wheels have a pretty agressive offset, as you can see. So yeah... time will tell. i do want it lower though. In a couple months I'm gonna raise it 2.5" for winter! hahaha

Thanks!

Not as low as I want it! I wish I needed to clear big brakes... haha, my wheels are a welded 2 piece though, and can fit as big of brakes as I can find -- they rim has a big groove for a giant caliper -- and the offset is perfect for a BBK.

The stupid groove I mentioned is annoying as hell when I wash the car, because water pools in it at the bottom... I wouldn't mind having to dry them out as much if I had some big porsche brakes lurking down there. How do you like the stoptechs? Have you much experience with any other BBK manufacterers?

I love my stoptechs. Very street friendly. I also have a set of porsche brakes. I am going to try them out when I eventually go autocrossing. I heard they are pretty much off or on and not very streetable on our cars.

Hmm, not very streetable eh? I definately wouldn't want that, as I've never been on a race course! haha -- that being said, I don't need big brakes at all... but hey, maybe someday.
