those struts have to be so far gone that when u hit a bump it makes your tires rub. that or the car has been lowered and you haven't noticed. how much wheel gap do you have?

lol...i have like none i would sayabout 2 1/2inchs. I also know that the springs arent cut. The guy that i bought gave me a list of what he had done so far and i checked the springs they dont look cut. Yeah i dont see why he would spendthe money for springs if he cut them.He also gave me some control arms with it. So i think he was planning on doing a number of things to it. I can here the wheels rub. They rub when i go around turns, or hit bumps..Its driving me nuts...

I keep hearing a bunch of good things about those springs as well, do you have any link for those and what type of drop did they give your car. Thanks
