Default 20's, Springs, and rub oh my!

Question... I noticed BlackKnight had 20" Shelby razors with Eibach Pro springs. It looked sharp and that is the look I am after. However, anyone lower their car with 20's and have any kind of rub or other problems I should be aware of?

I've had no real issues, except for the obvious "WOW, that was a big bump".

Withthe Eibach Pro/Tokico D-spec setup, 255/35's are perfect profile from what i've seen. As long as you stick with the Razors, you should be fine.

Cool. What about scraping your chin spoiler going up any inclines (my parking garage at work has pretty steep ramps)

And, lastly.. what kind price am I looking at for 20" razors?

If you run the 255/35-20 that overalldiameter is very close. If you dont scrape now you wont have any problems. I got the gunmetal before the price increase and payed $800.

i had no rub whatsoever, you just gotta watch out for speed bumps, they can really give you a jolt and have the underside of your car looking not so pretty.

I've seen Razor's for around $1200for all 4. The chin spoiler......i try and be careful. No major issues, but i have scraped a few times on steep inclines (ramps into parking lots in the city). Just learn to take it slow and at an angle, instead of head on and you'll be fine. The way the chin is built, it's pretty thick underneath, so even if you scrape, it doesn't warp or bend.

Cool cool. I found a place around here selling them for $880 for all 4, and $584 for 4 Komo tires. I think I will take that route once i get over the wife speed bump.
