It wont rub with the HAS kit. I think 1 inch is the max drop.

edit: missed the part about spacers. I dont run spacers but have 315s on the rear instead of 295s.

Im dropped about 30mm - more than an inch. The travel is still really comfortable and I love the look. Its access to driveways that become a problem with anything more than that. And really, Kumizi is right - an inch is the right call for max if you dont want to have to worry about uneven roadways.

What springs are you running on your GTC,
I believe the gts and gtc don't share the same "lowering springs"

Looks good.

I didnt have problems with the front lip much but the underneath of the car would scrape all the time over large speed bumps. Raised mine up 1/3".
