with your stock wheels and tires your tires wont rub the spring if you want to go lower. The only coilovers that have a real issue with rubbing the strut/spring is the KW. Since the fronts are 7.5 width there's plenty of room to drop it and not worrying about rubbing. I have 8.5 in front and I'm dropped all the way on my Teins and nothing rubs. Granted my offset is +20 but even when I had CLS500 wheels on with 18x8.5 +28 in front it didnt rub anything. So I think you'll be fine no needing spacers, plus there are many members on here that have H&R coilovers and they drop the front all the way down and dont have issues.
Also you cant justify that most of us take our cars to the dealership or shop to get it worked on. Members like Karo, Glyn, Johnand will give you a wealth of knowledge and WIS and DAS if you're ever needing part #s or DIY on how to remove something.
You'll learn after awhile these guys on here like to joke around alot. But we're all here as enthusiast and here to help each other out.

hmmm interesting... maybe its because the sidewalls on the stocks are taller so it rubs. But if you have to get spacers, just go with 5mm, think that's put your front offset around 31 or if you really want to go flush get 10mm and you'll get a 26 offset. Just remember you'll need longer lug bolts. Radusa has the bolts you'll need. Our stock shank length is 39.9mm so you'll want eighter 45mm shank ball seat 17 hex (for 5mm spacer) or 50mm shank ball seat 17 hex (for 10mm). Or you can be like Roland and just do a wheel stud conversion and then get some lug bolts. But with ball seat wheel its a hard find to get some good looking lug nuts. Tommy and I have been looking for awhile for a good set of open ended ones.

Me and couple of the guys made a bet. Majority of us are thinking you are a Hot blond that shops at Hot Topic and some think you are a brunette that just dresses casually. I still think you are a kinky blond who shops at hot topic. Can you please post a pic? If I'm correct I got atleast 200 bucks coming my way.
Thanks
