read that guy's feedbacks. He seems to be kindof a flake lately. I was going to buy those form him but I have doubts so I'd rather not.

The drop is quite low 1.7 front 1.5 rear, i believe.

i have the tein s-tech with tokico shocks set up, with 18x7.5 all around.
this causes some rubbing when going over big bumps, when i add myself and 2 other average weight people it starts to rub pretty badly, my rear fenders are already rolled as well. hope this helps you make decision..

I've got Teins and Tokicos on my 5sp V6. You won't need to roll your fenders at all. Just worry about what rims you want to roll on.

Yeah, stocks. But I plan on getting 19x8's. Shouldn't be a problem especially of you're just getting 18's. I say just get the rims, and see if they rub or not. I don't even think they'd rub if you were riding on Tein SS's either.

rolling the rear fenders is shaving some of the inside of your rear fender, specifically the area that rubs against your tires when you hit a bump/dip in the road. this cost me 50 dollars at my local shop, and it reduced a lot of rubbing in the back, however with more than 2 total passengers my car will still rub, perhaps it has to do with the offset of my 18's, and i'm running 235/40/ combo as well.

well i'm running on 18's, 225/40 combo and they rub too when i have at least 1 person in the back and if i take very sharp corners so I'm definitely going to roll them. But you are saying that occassionally they still rub??? :-?

well obviously you're rubbing because you have 235! thas too wide buddy. it seems to me that if you have 225, and roll it, you should be fine for hte most part. a little rubbing isnt going to do severe damage right?
