    Do you have any problems with rubbing? How much did you lower your car with the coilovers? I am looking to lower mine, but with just springs. From the pictures it looks like an approx 1" drop?

    It also doesnt look like you've installed any camber arms for the rear. Any problems with tire wear?

    Sorry for all the questions. I just really like the drop/stance of your car. Possibly a touch higher in the rear, but still looks great.

    I had an issue with rubbing a couple of week ago when I took my car to the city (NYC), but it was only a few times over large bumps at high speeds. The rubbing was only in the front; none in the back due to the deep fender wells. Having said that, I DD the car to and from school about 40 miles/day and never have any issues with rubbing.

    I've got it lowered about 1 3/8" all around, and I do have a set of Ichiba rear camber arms, but I've got an aggressive negative rear camber intentionally for the look and to keep the rear tires from rubbing the outside of the fender wells. Also, I've got almost 7K miles on the tires with no signs of premature tire wear.

    I hope this helps you out. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    I live up in Canada and I don't think our roads here are as nice or as smooth as your roads, so it would be next to impossible to have that ride height and not plant the car on the ground at some point! lol

    I DID have another question though. I plan on dropping mine with just Eibach springs which is about a 0.9" and 0.8" drop. Would it still be ok and line up flush like yours with your 20mm (front) and 25mm (rear) spacer??

    Thanks again!

    Yes, even with a little less of a drop, the tires should line up flush with the fenders. Make sure to take some pics once you have the springs/spacers installed!

    Will do! I'm actually still waiting for the car to come in though. There's only 1 White/Persimmon in Canada and it appears to be spoken for, but there seems to be a problem with the potential buyer and might not be able to take the car. So Im hoping to get that one instead of waiting 4-6 weeks for a Japan order.

    In any case, thats awesome that the tires should line up flush with the fenders with less of a drop. I've seen other 370's on here that have shorter spacers, so I wasnt sure why that was? Possibly due to larger/wider tires or a lower offset for aftermarket wheels?

    Do you plan on changing your wheels? I don't think your spacers would work anymore if you did!

    Did you have to pay extra for your mud-flaps? (or whatever you call it?) I've seen 370's without it.

    Thanks!

    Some people have shorter spacers because they feared the tires would stick out past the fenders with larger spacers, but that's not the case.

    I don't plan on changing my wheels simply because I can't afford a new set. And, yes, if I did then my spacers probably wouldn't work.

    The splash guards came with the car as part of the sport package. I think they're an option if you don't have the sport package.
