We installed our Super Sports last night. We made the cut at the first rib on the bump stop. Simple, clean.

I still have an inch or so of gap before I'm even with the top of the tires and my rear wheels are sunken in quite a bit. I don't foresee those wheels rubbing but I wouldn't be able to give you a 100% confident answer. I'm going to be spacing my rear wheels 20-25mm at the end of the month and my mechanic is pretty confident I'm not going to rub at all. The springs are pretty stiff, I have more than a few big bumps on my drive home that are unavoidable when there's oncoming traffic, which there always is, and I don't bottom out or even bounce that much. It just hits and goes.

do you think 17 x9 +42 wheels with tire specs 235 / 40 / 17 will have issue on rubbing?

Just did 30mm H&R spacers in the rear, no rubbing whatsoever. Looks mint too. Sits flush.

Cool, Thanks. These are the springs I'm thinking of going with.

I really enjoy them. They eliminated a lot of body roll which was surprising to me because there was very little to begin with. Here's a pic with the H&R 30mm Spacers I just put on.
