are you on sprints? how is your front lower...? if you're on sprints and your front end is higher than the rear than you must have a huge stereo or a couple dead bodies in the trunk.

If you install Sprints without cutting the rears, your drop is not going to be level. The rear is going to sit up about an inch higher, making your car look a little hot-rod-ish. By cutting one coil off the rear springs, you level the drop so that the rear does not sit higher.

Do a search, almost everyone who has Sprints has done this...

I had 245/40/18's w/ B&G 1.6" drop and 18x8.5 wheels and no rubbing issues what so ever. So I'd say, go for it!

With a 35 offset and 245's, you're most likely going to hit the fenders. On my old 17"s, the offset was 235 and when I dropped it on ground controls, the car was rubbing the tire sidewall. It chewed up the sidewall pretty bad. And I know Ming had problems with his rear tires rubbing too.

dont do it. It messes up the compression ratio for the spring.

that's what I was afraid of, so I just have to roll the 2 fenders in the back?
