Searched but too many words needed to bring up results--figured someone can just give me the "go/no go" on it.

ST Coilovers are getting delivered today, curious about rubbing/if I'll have to roll fenders. Not looking go real low-just eliminate gap in fender-tire area. Probably will adjust them all the way up (-1.4" according to spec sheet on them) and set it. Anyone running a set up similar without rubbing? I don't think it'll be an issue but looking at a tape measure from fender edge to tire says otherwise

Garage List
Tons are running similar setups, usually with a little more aggressive front offsets.

It will all depend on what tire you select and how low you go. ST are supposed to basically be KWs just made with different metal. So if similar, I doubt you really want to start with them set at max height, I'd go for more like 3/4 max height. I bet most of us are closer to half way up the height settings.

I installed rears last night, fronts today after work--I went half way up on the rear adjustment and from what I've read on here I'll more than likely try to hit the 25-28 thread mark on front. Give it a few days to settle and then re adjust to level.

Thanks Eyeman
