Rubbing w/ CL-S rims
People have said that the stock tires off the CL-S rims will rub on the TL suspension, but mine do not at all. I was wondering if they will rub if I lower them with Comptech springs?
I looked at the suspension an tires and I am thinking that they will not rub, however I am not sure though. If anyone has any experience with this, would you be kind enough to share?
I really do like the CL-S rims. Although they are not C-5's or whatever, the rims look really sweet on the silver car. I really need to drop it though.

Dragon,
I think people said that they rubbed when you turned the wheel all the way to one side or the other and rubbed on a suspension arm.
Try that and let us know.
