If i get 225/45/18 and the pro springs would it rub? I dont think they lower it much compared to the sportlines. I already scraped up my lip enough and dont feel like havin to worry bout it more. And if I got 40 sidewall that would make me feel the potholes more which already scares the **** out of me when i hit a big one.

you will only get a drop in the rear. something like .5 inches. but it will level out the car since the ss/sc's front sits lower stock. you will notice an increase in handling as well

You should be fine with those tires (225/45/18), even when lowered.

Do you rub at all with the lower springs and 225/45/18, I'm thinking about going with the Cobalt Addiction Springs, but maybe I'll just pay the money and go with Eibach Sportlines.

I run those tire/wheel sizes and i'm lowered pretty damn low. I only rub if I crank the wheel all the way to one side...other than that its fine. Looks slammed...I love it.

What rims are those? They look SWEET! How bad do you scrape or have to angle getting in and out of driveways or driving on the street? Are those Eibach?
