Stay "ignorant" because it seems you actually like to drive your car and not be a sh-low bitch like the many that exist online no matter the car.

What you could look at picking up to help with the rubbing is a stiffer stabilizer bar to try and deflect some of the leaning. The SWIFTS I don't believe lower that much up front, they usually only drop like 20~25mm at most on every application that I have ever seen and the spring rates are slightly stiffer than stock to also help deter some of the sloppy sway of the vehicle when making turns.

Just checked Tohatsu's site and they list the GE8 as having 20~25mm drop front and rear for their SportMach's.

Looks good! Car looks very glossy and shiny. Klasse is good stuff.

Agree on the lowering, it could definitely help but it's your car!

What's a 20-25mm drop in inches Like I said, my fears are the rubbing issues as a DD in a city environment in the mid-west and dropping the ca$h to "see" if it all works. To me though, it "seems" like I should be able to get away with a 1.3" drop in the front, not worried about the rear so much. If someone comes on here with a similar combo, I'll really think long and hard about doing it.

I will be turning the car hard in 9 days down on the Dragon
