Ok, Todd, even though we discussed this on the mailing list, i'm still not at ease with my setup. Here are a couple points I've pondered:
A) When I first got my springs/shocks installed, the local shop had the Koni's at the stock setting. With the race springs installed, the car was dropped 2.25" and the wheels were tucked just inside the fender. It was like this for a week, and I never noticed any rubbign whatsoever.
Now the c-clips are at the highest, so i've thankfully lost that ricer look and gained streetability (i'm at 1.75"). When I installed one of the BFG's (mounted on teh stock rim) on the front wheel, the looked like it was lowered originally, with the tire sticking inside the fender. Now, here's my point (finally): given the same tire to fender distance as the original suspension modification, I shouldn't necessarily be worried about rubbing, right?
B) If it does rub, can you comment on why? Is it due to the tire contacting the inside fender before the shock absorber reaches the bump stop? Other reasons? Also, where is the rubbing, specifically, that you talked about? On the tread itself, on the sidewall?
Todd, the only reason i ask is that there's an upcoming autocross this sunday, and I'd really like to give it a go. I figure if the rubbing is only marginal, then there's not that much of a problem. If its serious, then I'll play it safe.
Sorry for making you read through all this crap. Much thanks in advance.
