you'll have some rubbing issues, roll your fenders and you'll be fine.

you need those plastic guards bro...rent a fender roller and do it yourself. If not have a shop do it. Or in my case i took off the clips that hold the outter plastic guard and that solved the problem for me. I"m running 205/50/15's 2.5inchs all around with no rubbing issues.

as for this guy ^ dont listen to him...you'll def rub with that kind of drop. Its not going to be too much but it will rub.

I had these springs on my car on the stock struts not my choice but i was tucking and hardly rubbed even at full lock. That was the only time it would even touch. Any one know what the spring rates are for the neuspeed race springs?

Depends on the width of your wheels.

true didn't realize that....but im running OEM EM1 rims which i believe is 15x6 with a offset 45. Im slammed roughly around 2.5inchs all around. Before i rolled my fenders i'd rub making u-turns and taking wide turns. Yes its a 99 civic coupe.

like everyone said, i really doubt you'll rub unless your running a super low offset like in mycase (205/50/15 15x7 +20 offset enkeis).

so unless you run a super low offset with wide rims, some race springs wont rub anything.
