Question I need some advice

I searched and didnt come up with a specific answer to my question so here it goes. My RX8 has 18 inch 9.5 wide black Enkei RPF1's with a +45 offset and275/35-18 Nitto rubber. I bought a set of Tein H Tech springs off of a member and they should be here on friday ready to install on the weekend. What Im trying to decide is wether or not to just install the fronts for now or all of them. The reason for not being sure is that the back already sits pretty low and has the ocaisional rub if the supension articultes to much. I have allot of front wheel gap and figured if I just did the front it might even out the look. I attached a pic for reference. Thanks in advance for any help.......

I would install both the front and the rear. The H Techs are 15% stiffer than stock, and if you only install the fronts you will be increasing the car's tendancy to understeer since you are stiffening the front end while keeping the rear stock. I would install both and expect to modify rear fenders.

BTW.....good choice on those wheels. What Nittos are you running? NT-05?

Now that I look at the attached pic, I see they are 555's. I should have looked first before asking.

Have fun fender modding.
