Now i get annoying rubbing sounds when turning ..
What tire thickness/width are you running in the front? 35/245?

+1 again, I had slight rubbing at certain times with Tein S.techs and 20s and it's less of a drop than the Eibach.

Lowered the ride with Eibach ProKits 1 inch drop front and rear. Wow it looks incredible. I have been getting non stop compliments from young and old crowd.

No rubbing issues what so ever. In fact it rides better then factory. The eibachs seems to be more of a soft/smoother ride then the stiff stockers. I do not regret this drop so far. I can drive it normal as if I was on stock springs and rims. No speed bump issues no rubbing on the plastics. If i would have went lower or wider front rim I am sure I would have had a small problem. I'll post pics once I can wash it this Northeaster Storm hasnst stopped yet.

Default 07 San Marino 350 with 20' Axis Shines

I just bought an 07 San Marino Z. I'm running the axis shine's that are 20x9 in the front with a 245/35/20. I have stock struts with the eiback pro kit. The Front rubs when going up sharp inclines and certain dips in the road. I am running a 20x10 in the rear with a 285/30/20. The rear rubs the same way the front does on sharp inclines and also when cornering hard at faster speeds. From what a friend of mine says, the rear rubs because of the wider tire in the rear. Needless to say I'll be rollling the fenders. This same friend has an 05 350 with 19x9.5,10.5 with 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 with the eibach sportline kit and stock struts. He tucks both front and rear wheels with no rubbing issues. Just a comparison between the different setups...Hope this helps

I dont know you from a []hole in the wall. For all I know, your experience with Nissans is [] washing them for the track. I dont know you, dude.

And as far as englightening you, it is [spelt] spelled enlighten. (I know its hard [that] becausethey dont have spell check on the forums, but use a li'l common sense). Since you're on the Web already, Google it. [] How I lower my car isn't your concern. I was simply asking a question -- one or the other -- and [asking for?] pics. I don'tremember starting the thread by saying I amlooking for a track setup.
Thought I'd help you out.
