With the Koni's on the lowest perch setting and the RSR Race Springs, you'll probably have rubbing issues. The RSR Race Springs apparently lower more than the advertised heights. At the normal perch setting, the RSR Race Springs are about the perfect height.
Not my car, but a picture of a car with those springs on stock shocks:
As you can see, any lower and you'll have problems.

With the Konis, the fronts must be set on the highest spring perch or you'll annihilate your fender liners. The rears may be set to the lowest without issue, if that balances the ride height better.

im starting to think i should have gotten lower profile tires... instead of 245/45s. just saw a few other people mention rubbing with konis as well..
i'll get it set up in the next few weeks.. and report back on how it is.
i really don't want the front much lower than stock.. maybe 1/2 inch, back im hoping to get at least a 1.25 drop

Secondly, there are NO rubbing issues with the Konis. They are not meant to be used on the lower perch settings with lowering springs....my ride height is quite even (although too low) with my HKS springs and Konis -- fronts on highest perch, rears on lowest perch. Hopefully, I'll finally get a chance to install my Zeal B6s soon...

Now, if you use the lowering springs AND put the Konis on the lowest setting....then you're screwed.
