How bad's the rubbing?

I also can deduce you don't ever drive your car aggressively in anything other than a straight line.

Looks sweet though, I love a mean drop.

ok, here are the facts. i have never rubbed. i don't think it's even possible with stock wheels. well, maybe scooter could rub. :o

my car gets driven. on my way to work i drive down a windy road that drops into downtown portland, at athe end of this road are some of those monster speed bumps. then i drive down burnside the road sucks ass, but somehow i manage to survive. then right before i get to work i get to drive on 2 blocks of wasted uneven cobblestones.

i've also driven over teh mountain pass 8 or 9 times, through tons of snow in the winter (w/ snow tires and no koni drop).

and it is very much glued to the pavement when it comes to handling/cornering, on smooth roads it's amazing.

Can we get a pic of the back, to see how the width of the tires look? I might upgrade to 235/40's.

mattg: That's amazing you don't rub - with my 2.5+" drop with a passenger on a windy, bouncy road I could definitely rub the tires with my coilover drop. Although my camber was whack back then so maybe it was just that... dunno.

I'm sure they look awsome.

I just could not see the whith because you took the pictures indoors.

I don't want to be a pest! But could you retake so that we can see the actual whith.

Can't wait!
