Nope. Shouldn't rub at all. Shouldn't even come close.

heh, funny thing is you prob won't notice a drop. most people don't when they change out their stock springs since most are the factory installed ones

you will however notice better handling since the drops have a different coil compression

holy crap, I have 235/60/15s in the front and they rub like crazy! maybe just my alignment is bad but I know a U-turn is out of the question for me.

Most likely because you have a really tall tire at 26.10" tall.

you definately need a lower profile, i shoudl be ordering hte springs next week and my dad and i are renting a spring compressor cuz i dont feel like paying another 200 bucks just to have them put in. im excited i wanna be able to hug the ground with out fears of fishtailing like a mad man and i can finally hang with my friends mazda 6 through turns cuz he just blows through them and i have to slow down but now i can be up there with him well somewhat cuz he is much faster than i am.
