[Shotimes] Springs Question

As I mentioned, yes it will still rub, just maybe not as often.  If you have a
couple of people in the back seat and hit a good size dip, the suspension will
squat to it's fully (or close to) compressed state, even with new springs.  If
the tires rub now, they will also rub then.

I see you're only running a 225mm wide tire, but what is the wheel offset?  My
guess is you're running 35mm offset wheels.  You generally cannot get away
with that on a Gen1 without trimming the rear fender sheet metal.  Have you
trimmed yours?

  The guy I bought it off had the car lowered 2 inches in the back. Before he
bought the front springs he sold it to me. So I just wanted some new springs
for the back. It shouldn't rub at all if I get the stock height springs
right?> Tires are 17".  Bridgestone Potenza RE730 225/45
