superficail?

I would rub if I got 225 width. I would have stepped up if I wasn't on these springs. I already have 0 gap and I usually carry a lot of stuff in my trunk for work.

I haven't tried to run 225 width but I did throw it on the car to see how it looks and without even driving it looked like it was going to rub.

Nobody got the 16's with the skunk2 drop?

I'm putting this setup on this weekend with 18's and a 215 tire. I have decided no camber kit either after doing more research. Post pics soon.

Rear camber kits are way overrated unless you are autocrossing or something. I'm running with the front camber bolts and no rear kit and my car handles unbelievably better than stock. I'm dropped on pro-kits tho, not Skunk2's. My rear camber is -2.2 on both sides. Believe it or not that's still within factory specs. anything over -2.3 is out of spec. Also just make sure your rear toe setting is neutral/0.0 to prevent premature tire wear.

It would handle better if you lessen that rear camber.

I am so frustrated right now; I ordered my Skunk2 springs/rear camber kit on the 25th of Feb and I still do not have it. I was told that they would backorder on the 29th and that I would hear something the second week in March; well this is the second week in March and I have yet to hear anything. I am more than sure everything is good as they were ordered from Corsport and they seem to do good business; but it would have been nice to get an email Monday! I guess it's my luck though as I ordered my rims/tires on the 29th of Feb and have yet to get those as well; 2-3 days shipping my ass! I found out that after I ordered them that I will get them 2-3 days after they get them. Any event I have not heard from them either; but I am more than sure that everything is good with that as well it's just nice to hear from the people that you just spent good money with. By the way does anyone have pics of an FA5 dropped on Skunk2 springs; as I have yet to see one? Oh forgot too mention that I kept the same 215/45/17's!!
