Default Tanabe GF210's(Pics inside)

I recently had my Tanabe GF210's put on. I don't have many pictures of before the drop but I have some.. I need to roll my fenders because I'm rubbing already! The springs haven't settled totally yet but I'll take some more pictures in a couple of days for the full effect...


This was a couple of hours after the install







If I roll my fenders is it possible that I will still rub in the fender area or would my car have to be like touching the ground for more rubbing?

I'm really surprised myself that they rub.. I looked through so many threads to find the right spring/tire combo and I thought that I had found it but no such luck.. Its quite strange. I guess every car is different
