Thanks, I've been wanting to do it for a while, but was always torn between spending the extra $$$ on performance parts or cosmetics.

It doesnt rub because my car is not yet lowered. I'll know more next week after I install my suspension.
The offset is +43
Hope this helps.

Install is done.. I'm a bit disappointed that this is the lowest I can go until I either get a spacer or change my tire to 215 or 205 as the tires were rubbing on the coils (front). But better than the stock look for sure and less stiffer than stock....
I also noticed that my AC line is rubbing on the axle so I need to do the zip tie technique to see if it will solve the problem.
for now, to divert my attention to something else away from the height, will be installing the rear diffuser and the carbon spoiler.

The ride changes SO MUCH when you lower it. I'm leaving mine as is, even though I know aesthetically it would look better lowered.
