It looks like the front tire is tucked. Do you get any rubbing when you do hard turns?

have you taken any dips? or dips with turns? with stock rims and wheels?

and you are telling me you get no rubbing.... I am... in front... rubbing on outside fender... i can see small rubber marks on metal.

I find it hard to believe you dont with the stock setup. Unless you have not taken dips at speed yet or hard turn on dips.

You alter your driving style?

I am now deciding on how to rectify this matter.

Shop says go coil spacers.

another option different tires.

roll fenders.

or go back to stock

I dont think H&R are meant for stock tire setup.

The front drop is really agressive(again how could you not see this after the install... i just dont get it).

It looks great... but any rubbing even if just at dips and turning on dips at speed really make me angry.

There is no way H&R would design springs that would cause rubbing on stock wheels. On the spec sheet the springs would lower the A7 about 0.75 inches or so. What size are your tires?

they are the stock wheels that come with the 20inch wheels on the car.... 265/35 20

there is no way in hell anyone on this board with stock setup running these springs is not getting rubbing... either you are full of S*#T or you have not driven your car around town.

front is LOW.
