Quick question to the OP. I also have just installed my s coils only on my gd3. I am noticing some knocking on small bumps even when not turning or even close to full lock. Did you rubbing issue ever have a knocking sound to it? I've only had the springs on the car for less then 48 hrs and have yet to see signs on inner fender rub. Thanks

Yea I agree haha. Monday night I went through and ensured that everything I touched was torque to spec, and I still have the noise. Its pretty unnerving. Sent emails to T1R and A&J Racing. Waiting to hear back from both.

Thanks anyway though.

man.... i dont rub at all.... and im low with 17x8 +25, pulled fenders only slightly... ? i think people expect too much with lowering springs and no fender mods.... you modify suspension, you need to modify fender wells if they require it
