Unless you have coiover sleeves, threaded shocks, or Koni shocks-you are out of luck.

dont expect your car to ride smooth at all with those spacers if they will even fit.

What size wheels and tires are you running? That will make some difference.

<U>PLEASE</U> post some pics of your car with these springs installed!!!
i've never know anybody to actually use them and i was considering using them.
how is the ride on these springs?
with your description of the finger/fender/tire sounds like it's higher than my current setup, so i REALLY would like to see some pics.
to you for choosing these springs!

it sounds like you have more clearance then when i had my coilovers adjusted all the way down on my 16's. That was low you just have to learn how to drive it slammed.

hehe, ok, i'll try n get some pics up SOON, imma use my bros digi cam today. But anyways, yea, before i got the spring i asked around and NO ONE had them. The ride quality is actually great considering its so damn low. On normal roads it feels almost like stock, isnt bouncy at all, the only time its rough is when u hit big bumps, but most of the times it doesn't scrape because my bumpstops hit first (unless im going super fast ), speedbumps are another story . The springs are progressive and are soft as hell so the ride is nice, and this is on shocks that are going bad mind you. Im running stock rims and tires, but im planning for 15 (or maybe 16) inch Rota Slipstreams. But yea, i'll try to get some pics up within a day or 2. THanks for all your guy's help.

Stepping the wheels up to a 15" will probably help it some.
