I'm running that setup with no complaints. It's a bit stiff even on the softest shock setting but I don't mind. I didn't have to replace my pillowmounts. Nothing really to worry about, my tires don't rub with the drop.

from my research, the Tanabe GF springs are really stiff.

RSR race springs up top and my Tanabe GF210 bellow. I was at an incline so I think it may have effected the stance a bit. Seems just a little bit higher up front than normal.

I'm running this set-up. I'm also having the same problem this guy is.

Like I posted in that thread I love the stance the car has and the feel/control/adjustability with the set-up but seeing as how I'll be taking the car to more HPDEs and such next year Im a little concerned with the rubbing. Over the winter I plan on getting uder the car and trying to find out what I can do about it, which will include rolling the fenders just to be safe.

^ Spacers even lil 5 or 7mm spacers would work fine. But if you really want to fix it......coilovers!!! That's what I'm waiting for.
