Will I rub with a 2 in. drop on 215/35/18
Whats up guys I'm new to the forum and this is my first post, so Im getting my car lowered this week with the sprint 2" drop all around and sprint camber kit, will I rub with 18" wheels on 215/35/18 tires?

You won't rub when turning, but you rear tires will probably rub against the rear fenders when going over bumps. If your camber is adjusted to spec., your rear tires will rub against the rear fenders, because our rear tire well is not wide enough to hold 215 series tire.
Spider883 - what did you cut your fender lip with, and how did you take care of the exposed metal after cutting it. also, how rigid is the lip of you rear wheel wells? How well would the lip resist say a door ding? thanks.

Rep Power: 349 i cut it with a cutting tool and a grinder.. both air powered.. then i primed and painted the area.. and if a door hit it.. there would be a nice ding in it.. have to be careful... i own a shop so i have all of the stuff to do this

Rep Power: 0 Got my car lowered today and the rear gap looked fine at first but a couple hours they started to settle and in the rear I can only stick one finger I'm going to hit the rear fender when going over bumps.

Rep Power: 417 naw, i wouldnt cut it.. just fold it. you know how to do it right? stick the bat between the fender and push it down.
if you want i can do it for you on sunday. imma be at alex's house. i think your koo with him right, maybe ask if you can come over too?
LITTLELOUIE, yup thats why i dont like sprint, the rear is lower then the front. i heard they corrected it. AK, alex has the new "corrected" ones. maybe try calling them to get it replaced? should have gone with neuspeed
