Thanks for the feedback y'all! It actually site just slightly higher in the rear...so it should level out great if it settles. And as far as the rubbing, a few hours after having them put in yesterday, I had 3 people in my vehicle and the only part it rubbed [over a big dip/bump] was where the smallish dent is over the drivers side rear tire (which is getting fixed soon). The other side didn't rub at all, ever, and that vehicle will never sit lower than it was yesterday lol! Whoever owned the car before me did extensive suspension/chassis stiffening work, so there's barely any body roll etc.

Oh and sorry, forgot to answer the tire question... the fronts are 235/45/17 with a 17X8 wheel, and the rears are 275/40/17 with a 17X9 wheel.

No I didn't. But the car has really oddly stiff (handles great, rides not so great - but it feels like a sports car so I love it!) suspension so you can barely get it to roll left or right by pushing it, and pushing down on the rear barely moves it up and down...

Thanks, yours as well! Seeing your Scarlet Red with color matched moldings is making me want to keep my Scarlet Red and match the moldings when I get it painted instead of doing a color change!

Looks good man! I've been thinking about going with those springs, after seeing how they worked out for you I think I will. Thanks.

give it a week or two to settle, trust me your gonna wanna roll them with those big meats back there.when my buddy did his, it solved his rubbing problem. his would rub every time he went WOT and the weight transferred. and when he made sharp turns

Thanks Enfausn! You'll love em! I really like the stance now... I don't know what kind of springs I have in the front, but I think they are Steeda..? It sat the way I wanted in the front, so I just lowered the rear a bit to match.

And Shelty thanks... I'll def keep an eye on em to see how they settle!
