^^^more pull, smaller tires, more camber. Do not turn the wheel all the way when your on a hill, dip etc or else your fenders will cave in.. But it's part of the game that you rub.. Got to pay to play.. But anyways welcome to the aggressive/fitment fam.

I know we could remove a couple of the bolts that hold the fender liner... but damn, I do not want to hear that kind of sound again.
I heard the term "low n' slow" but I was already going like 5mph making a turn.
Seattle is full of hills and slopes.
Any tips and suggestions?

I admire the dedication and perseverance you guys go through to achieve the "hellaflush" look but damn, some of these cars look downright silly (looks are subjective, I'm talking about drive ability as well). As the saying goes though, whatever floats your boat.

Hah. This thread would be the most appropriate place to ask this question...
How the hell do you guys turn?!
A friend and I installed my Stance Coilovers a few days ago and the front end sat pretty low. Let me tell ya, it looked effing dope. I felt so cool for the time being because I couldn't wait to take picture of my new drop.
We took it out for a test drive afterwards around the neighborhood to see if and how bad it would rub. Wowwwwww.
We both cringed when we heard it rub in the front.

it's probably rubbing so much because you have a meaty tire up front, might wanna try a 35 size tire and possibly stretch depending on the width of your wheel
honestly you will get used to all the noise after driving low, when i first drove away after getting my fenders pulled by edafe (royal_t) my rears rubbed on dips and bumps before i did some adjusting so it's only natural for it to happen a first time. just find out whats causing it, fix it and you're golden

Tire specs are 245/275 35.
My set up isn't very aggressive. I didn't want to be toooo gangsta. The streets here aren't that great.
I'll post pictures up in a bit. My girlfriend's using my iphone.

Even though i'm not worthy to be postin in this thread...
( I'm hoping to join the slammed club real soon though
)
This is right after my coilover install
It's not super super super aggressive, but I freaking loved it.
For those who are reading this, don't get mad.
But there was no way in hell that I could have driven home, to work, and to school with my ride scraping that bad. So i raised it
Current pics
Girlfriend and I went down the street to Sharis for some apple pie and ice cream like 30 minutes ago.
Ewwwww @ that ride height. Wtf is with that gap? My friend's Wrangler is lower than my Z
