how far can I drop before I start rubbing?
Everything is stock suspension wise right now..but I would like to drop my 8 some now. I'll be doing some tracking in the near future, so I have on some Evo 8 Enkei rims. (17") I'm looking into the Tanabe NF210's. They drop 1.4" front and 1.2" in the back. Any problems with this? I'm just looking for a better ride/look for an affordable price.

Thanks

I can't see why you would rub. Evo 8 Enkei wheels are from what I remember 17x8 +35 are no where near aggressive so you should be fine. What tire sizes where you planning to run?
