This seems like a pretty minor issue to me. If it happens, make a nice clean hole with a dremel, and then put something to cover the hole that is dished so it will cover the hole and clear the tire...

Besides, my canyon running is done on my R1, this car is my daily driver; I'm still going with the Eibachs!

That's actually a pretty sweet idea haha. Sounds pretty awesome for the people without foglights...

You can take off the black foglight covers, place some mesh to make the opening look nice, and maybe even add some nice tubing from those to the hole in the wheel lining. Sounds pretty awesome actually

you guys can come up with 1000 ways to fix it if you want to, and say its a minor issue, and so on.... great, good for you guys. As for me, I don't like mods that cause sightly damage!

Blake, did Eibach confirm with you that the springs you're running are production springs? The ones on the STILLEN A/C are production springs, and not the exact springs that will be sold. Exact height and spring rate on ours could be different.

(they totally might be, but that would be an interesting thing to check on, since they just finished production today.)

I never asked Phong. However Eibach actually put up those numbers on the website after they R&D'ed the springs on my car and asked for before and after pictures of the drop so they could put it those up as well. It would lead me to believe its a production set if they are advertising it like that

Eduardo, tell me you're joking! ... or are you getting new rims? If your car rubs without the drop with your current setup, why on earth would you drop it another inch?
