If you all look closely, it would appear that my right side is lower than my left. I think the space where I parked is not entirely flat. The shop that did my work has a meticulous owner. He would have seen that and made the necessary corrections.

If you are asking me if 12mm will fit, I believe so. Nicke60gre might know better.

Are you positive it's rubbing in the front? I'm running 12mm spacers in the front with no problems whatsoever even with 5 people in the car on rough roads. I would definitely check with a high quality body shop before going back to the stock springs. If it's just minor rubbing they probably can fix it.

I had some very minor rubbing with 4-5 people in the car in the rear. $100 worth of fender rolling and bending some metal tabs inside the fender, and no rubbing whatsoever now. I discussed it in this thread, and took some pic's.

Good luck - the car looks phenomenal!

I realize that the picture quality isn't that good. I had to reduce the image quality from 5 Megapixel to 1 Megapixel to be able to post the pictures. Can anyone recommend to me how to post the 5 Megapixel pictures?

You can use my upload script.... no file size limit.

I guess I have to clarify what I meant by "rubbing." When I went over a speed bump in Vegas, I was going straight on over the bump and can down with a light "thump." I knew then that I had rubbed the tires against the wheel well. So, at the next speed bumper I took lessons learned from ricers and went diagonal. No "thump."
