Your NOT going to have any rubbing issues what so ever........ I have lots of friends running 20x10's with that kit and lower ones with no rubbing issues,

I love the pro kit, I still have the stock shocks and this thing handles awesome with just the springs. The ride is a little bit more rough but I actually like it better than the stock ride. Stock ride feels too soft.

I need to get the lower control arm relocation brackets because I dont think my back tires are getting enough traction on launches but after that I think I will net a better time in the 1/4.

It lowered it a LOT, when I first got my tires there was a huge gap in the front. As you can see now, there is hardly a gap at all.

I also never scrape on anything. Just make sure you take speed bumps slow, go down those really steep driveways a little at an angle and dont pull up to parking blocks and you will be fine.

Yea 1.5 is about right. I didnt measure mine before but it seems to drop the front more than the rear as you can see there is a slight rake to my car still.

i dont have any pics up but i am running sportlines and 18x9's with 245's and i dont rub whatsoever, if your looking to really reduce for fender well gap sportlines do that well without shellin out the money for coilovers. and the ride is awesome i love it
