295/25? you crazee!!! in NYC!?!?!
I think I'm going to try 285/30.... Its the only way i feel comfortable. I wish I can do 295/25.. but that just doesn't leave anyroom for tire / rim. lol. I do have a lot of height to play with.. and once i get the coilovers, it'll be easier to adjust.
Do you know with the Pss9's, would i have to take off the wheel to adjust the stiffness / suspension? and would i have to take off the wheel to adjust height?
Bilstein doesn't have anything on their site..
coilovers is one of the last mods... for now.... =)

Now for your rubbing issues, if you're rubbing with FK452 275/30/20 then 285/30/20 is going to be worse. Falken tires are actually narrower that other tires. Falken FK452 285/25/20 = Toyo T1R 275/30/20 in terms of overall width. This past weekend, I replaced my FK452 285/25/20 tires with Yokohama ADVAN Sport 285/25/20. I really didn't have an option b/c I blew out a tire on the way to Vegas. Visually, the ADVAN are wider eventhough being the same size and once again I have to deal with rubbing issues. Oh well.... Coilovers aren't going to help you either. You have two choices.
1. Get Falken FK452 285/25/20 tires or go with T1R 275/30/20.
2. Shave the wheel offset. (Didn't you already do this?)

hahaha, damn Joe, you got it all wrong.
The back isn't rubbing. Its the front that is rubbing. The rear's are perfect, no problems at all. I'm going 285/30/20 in the rear cause the lip is sticking out too much, and getting coilovers, I can adjust it a little higher than now and stiffer.
As for the front, that is why i need the coilovers. Its only the front passenger side too, not the whole front. According to r1racer, the specs for the bilsteins height range from .71 to almost 2 inches. So i can have it at .71 for the front to be on the safe side.
=) Thanks for the info / help, its really appreciated. And if all this fails.. I just give up..
