Default H&R sport springs or race springs......

I'm going to order springs and shocks from AWE this week. Want to go with the race springs but don't know if I'll have rubbing issues. Also installing 18" rims w/tires. Does anybody know if this will cause rubbing? Thanks in advance for any help!

Default I have neuspeed race, pretty much the same size drop. And i have

only rubbed against the fender once. Only because when i was turning, i hit a little divit in the road on the right side so it managed to push out the underneath of the fender a little bit but i managed to fix that just by heating up with a hair dryer and bendin git back. I do rub the inside of the liner though and i didnt relize it untill i was underneath the car. No big deal to me.

If you are worried about your height, go with the race springs... I got sport springs first and was not that great of a drop for me.

Default Im in CT and i dunno if id run race springs.

I ahve vogtland springs and they are lower than most sport springs, but not as low as race springs.
Im willing to say closer to race than sport though.

Default Yeah i noticed taht when looking at your pic poster one time...

looks lower or as low as my car. Neuspeed is advertised to lower 2.0in all around, i think H&R is 1.9 in front and 1.75 in back or something. Then i remember seeing vogtland as 1.75 all around...

Default I have Sports on Bilstein sports and no rubbing whatsoever

The reason I didn't go with race springs is cuz I'm in Jersey and a lot of bad roads. So if you are looking for a lower look do what I did and get the grooved ones.

I have mine set 1 down on the front and back. In my opinion it's just perfect. I also have 18's w/ 225/40 and no rubbing whatsoever.

Check out more pics in my pic poster.
