i just got the car yesterday and the only person that's been in there with me is my wife. however I purposely drove over a railroad crossing yesterday evening really fast and when i came down no rubbing. i've made rapid turns and no rubbing. nothing as of yet. i'll see how it is with a few fat chicks in my car... DISCLAIMER: fat chicks are just for testing.. lol

H&R Sport springs with factory shocks

Tito.. it could be that the car is black and it looks different in the pics maybe?? don't know, but we both have the same sport springs. also, to answer soc_fans question on rubbing; I just went out to lunch with 5 people (lightest guy was 180lbs) in my car and it didn't rub at all. that even surprised me.. THANK GOD!!!

when i was with the wheels alone I really didn't notice a difference. now that i put the suspension I feel it a bit stiffer, but in a good way. It isn't the pure luxury ride it used to be, but still rides nice.

WHAT !?! That's really weird.. I notice some rubbing when there are 3 people in the car. Especially when the roads are uneven. My tires are 245/35/20 front and 275/35/20 at the rear. I guess i have to roll my fenders really soon..

got any close up pics of the car before you lowered it? just curious as too see what the cars stance was before you lowered it?

Silver530iSport-if you can put in your input on this, that would be very helpful too.

THanx guys
