I have H&R springs, Bilstein Sport shocks, #2 pads in front, #1 in rear. I didn't roll the fenders, and there's no rubbing.

Thanks. I got the springs first and the shocks a little later. When I had just the springs, I noticed weird undulations in the suspension. It works much better when you have the right shocks to match the springs.

Wow! Great looking cars guys!
If you wouldn't mind posting your offsets as soon as you have them, it would be much appreciated... Those are really important for those of us that are about to plunk down some change for some new rims...
Also, if you can list your tire brand and model, this may help us as well since some rims have "shoulders" that are more rounded and may help resolve some of those potential rubbing issues.
Thanks!

The car did not sit any lower after I installed the shocks. The drop comes from the springs and pads only. The advantage to the Bilsteins is that they are specially valved for shorter springs, causing the springs and shocks to work together properly.
