I had the same issue, with tokico oem replacments I decided to go Eibach lowering springs.-1.7 inch drop on fatFives. Now I almost never rub, although the drop is still too low for my preference.
Also, tire size is a concern if you dont want your fender liners to shred. I believe Im on 195 tire size.

Pretty much two ways. Lowering springs: simply swap the springs out

Adjustable coil over is basically the same spring Is sitting on a collar that can be spun up or down to adjust the ride height.

Stiffness is entirely different. Stiffness has to do with spring rates and dampening.

just buy coilover sleeves and a good set of shocks.

a lot of people like to do the ground control coilover sleeves with tokico blue shocks. look into it. has a good street ride feel.

i myself like the more aggressive ride for track. all depends what u want

also is your name in reference to MGS series. if so, cool. MGS zero is gonna be the ****.

metal gear vengence is bullshit

nice. but you do know that the nes and SNES have no play in the original story line. it was made in USA just for $$$. not an actual hideo kojima project. i love MGS myself.

back to topic. good luck with your search. suspension is a serious thing, to me that is. right now im running ground control coilover with illumina white shocks. looking in getting full coilovers soon after my swap is done.
