Okay, I have a question, I have coilovers on my car now, I want to drop it to a 1-2 finger wheelgap but afraid that the tires will hit the fenders when I go over an unexpected bump (shocks compress so much that so tires get closer to the fender and hits it). So does these happen or will the shocks bottom out before the tires hit the fender. Please help me out. thanks.

it also depends on spring rates; a soft set of springs will alow more travel.

I don't have a problem with rubbing *yet* with a 1 finger gap in front and 1 1/2 in rear using tein flex.

I have Ground-Controls on my car, 1-1/2 finger wheel-gap in the front, very tight two in the rear. I don't have any problems with rubbing or tires hitting. I'm using stock 16s on stock size tires.

I have KYB GR-2 shocks/struts also.
