Default depends on ride height...
I rubbed at the front fenders with that identical setup at a ride height of 25 1/2". Now at 26" and no rubbing.

With the proper ride height and fender rolling you shouldn't rub.

Default hmmmm...
is that 3/4" drop from stock ground to fender?

If so, your ride height might be ~26" then. You'll have no rubbing issues at that height, only, it may look like there's too much gap to others. I'm comfortable with my ride height and is more practical for the roads here in the NY/NJ metropolitan area. "To each his own..."...

Default i live on long island, the roads suck here too and i drive to the city occasionally.....
im pretty sure its ground to fender and I'm more concerned with performance than looks and i've heard stasis is awsome so im really excited to get it installed.

Where are you having your suspension installed? How much will it be?

Default There's a shop here that does all my installs for me, they're very good.....
they have two names: North Shore Auto Salon and Toys for Big Boys and Girls. They charge $60 an hour and im good friends with the owner and the two head mechanics so they always give me breaks
