neuspeed or goldine??

i like the 2.25" neuspeed race springs drop but i've heard it causes your tires to tuck and throw off your camber badly causing ture rub. even with the camber kit your camber will be off. so my other choice is the 2" goldline sedan springs drop on my coupe. i have 215/40-18 tires so what kinda problems should i expect with the race springs if any? any opinions or experiances with either? and no i don't plan on getting koni chocks. waiting to pay 300 for tockio

eh, goldlines are actually 1.75" but ya it might lower 2" since they're soft.
and i have the same tires on neuspeed sports.. absolutely hate them cause they're so thick. i have a 1 finger gap all around with no camber kit. so ya 1 finger would be around .5" i would say. whoever told you that is probably right... its not going to tuck but there isnt going to be any gap. you probably would have to leave a slight negative camber in the rear so that it wont rub against the lip. but then you could always roll your fenders and you should be fine.
if you want to be on the safe side, go with goldlines.

personally, if i could drop my car again(without spending money of course), i would take that risk and go with the neuspeed race. why because i HATE my drop, 1.75" aint ****. hardly anyone can tell my car is dropped. the tires make my car even higher. if i got race and it rubbed, i would just roll the rear fenders a little. adjust the cambers a little(my camber now is off anyways so i dont really care about it being off by a little) to reduce tire wear. if the front rubbed, i would figure out a way to shave the fender well, if not i would probably just remove it. thats just me tho.

i didnt want 35 tires cuz thats too small and i'd risk bending a rim. the roads here suck ASSSSSSSSSS. but i really want the neuspeed race. you can really tell its dropped and it looks damn good. when i get the place to install them i'll ask if they can roll hte fenders and keep the negative camber. i want the least amount of tireware as possible and little or no rubbing. ya think the race rubs alot?

I just ordered my nuespeed sports, I was thinking between race and sports. It's a half an inch difference IF it was exactly what the company claims. Anyone have photos of either one to post so we can see them side by side?

first pic: mine, 215-40-18 on neuspeed sports
2nd pic: not sure what tires on neuspeed race

if you dont have a camber kit, it probably wont rub.. cause i dont have a camber kit and when i was parked in my friends driveway, alot of weight was put on my rear driver side and it was tucking. i couldnt see the tire, so ya it wouldnt rub if you dont have a camber kit. the front.. it might rub when you turn or hit a bump.
but ya again, theres ways around it and i think it would be worth the risk. atleast to me it would.
