i used to have that setup for like a month and let me say it was the worst. bouncy as f**k! couldnt stand it for daily driving. please upgrade your shocks at the least.

upgrading the shocks wont solve the problem... i never had rubbing problems with 205/50-15 +40 offset no camber kits and removed splash guards, slammed a lot lower than im sure those neuspeeds slam your car.

this low:


my advice: just remove the front splash guards unless you live in a area that has lots of dirty roads and where it rains a lot.

I rub like a bitch during U-turns and other aggressive steering angles. I'm lowered 2.5" in front, 2.25" in the rear, and riding on Koni Yellows (middle perch). My rims are used, so I don't know their offset, but they're 15" C8s with 205/50-15s. The passenger-side rubs the most. Ate away at the splash guard, which eventually fell off in the road.

Rubs only on full lock turns... No splash guards, camber kit on all 4 corners, 185/60/14's
Dropped prolly 2.5" around on generic coilovers and Kyb Gr2's Future plans are showing a set of KYB AGX's w/ Groundcontrols or Neuspeed race springs.

I'm rubbing bad on hard corners on 17x7 + camber kits. I got the cheap dropzone coilovers and i definitely need new suspensions and new rims soon.

Buying ground control+koni yellows & 15" rota slips soon.

1 - Don't drop your car too low
2 - Get wheels with a good offset!

hahaha thats funny good offset is a toatly abatrary term some people say +32, to +38 is a good offset (gives your car a wider stance). then when you consider being droped you want a higher offset something like +45.
