You have springs that are shorter than the stock springs on the car.

I dont get why your asking ..
did you buy the car used and you dont know what springs are on it? look in the wheel well and tell us what color the springs are. if they are Comptech they are silver and will say Comptech Sport right on them.

Your right,they were on there when I got it,IIRC the springs are black
and they rub on the left rear side on hard right turns, just want to know what can I do about the rubbing and I think I have stock struts.

Black? ......hmm. Comptech is silver, I think H&R is red

Is Eibach black? (guys help me out)

What color are the shocks? If they are black too, they are most likely stock. Konis are yellow, tokico is blue, etc .. getting some koni shocks set to a stiffer setting will probably eliminate that rubbing you are talking about. The stock shocks are too soft and are probably letting the body of the car move to much, which is causing the rub your are feeling.

I'm pretty sure H&R is red TREY, but I could be wrong.

They are not necessarily better, I prefer comptech over anything .. but the rear end of the comptech drop sits a little high for some folks taste, the H&R is a more level drop. but could cause rubbing like you say, especially with people in the car and the trunk loaded.

darrinb is right...eibachs are black and H&R OE don't drop the car like that (rubbing with stock tires) so if it is H&R it would be H&R Sport

H&R sport is black... but it is not low enough for the wheels to rub... you have to drop ur car more than 3-4" for the stock wheels to rub the fender

I would say it looks like a pro-kit drop. It looks just like my car. The springs are black.

What's the word on the shock color? Stock or no? I'm looking to lower mine (probably with Koni yellows and H&R OE Sport springs) but this looks a little low for me and my commute on terrible Jersey roads.
