Re: will new front springs fix this?

They shouldn't rub. When I got my car I had no rubbing and that was with the stock springs that were sagging a little. I had to replace the front springs with new stock IROC springs after cracking one when my car decided to take off while thinking that the Knight Rider turbo boost was an RPO that she has. Anyhoo, even with the new springs I had no rub.

You will have no rubbing.

most likely they won't rub, but even if they do I'd still go ahead and lower it. it definitely needs it.

the reason i asked is because the caR Originally had 15's
