The springs should let you lower it more? Also, why do you need spacers if you already are beyond the fender as evidenced by your rubbing?

I have Stance GR+ coilovers. If you have the money, you should invest in a set. And if you're having rubbing issues why would you get spacers?

No the springs are for the track, Spacers to push out a tiny bit more, then run some camber.

oh im not gonna run a whole lot on the spacing, just 5mm spacer

Sorry for confusing, what i meant to say i wanna run stiffer springs for drifting, 5mm spacers to push it out a tiny bit more, and run some camber.

No I know what you mean. I'm flummoxed as to your entire thought process. Do your thing. Live long and prosper.

They're both rated very high quality. I've never heard complaints or issues for either. Stance has a lifetime warranty though and excellent customer service. They're also always in production.
I wouldn't consider them cheap, they are one of the more expensive brands to go with. Well worth every penny though.
And before you get spacers, I would resolve any rubbing issues you have first. If you're going to track your car, I would also highly recommend NOT using spacers, especially if you're not using extended wheel studs.

Looks like i gotta save up for some New coil overs

Would 5mm spacer, require extended wheel studs. i've been hearing yes and no, and also heard if it doesn't, it would be smart too run them. O.o

I wish i could go to the track more often but there isn't one around here, so loading docks.

off topic here's a couple local drifters

There are some differences spec wise but for the most part they are the same crap. But if you are just looking for stance then their is no reason to buy proper coilovers.

Hey guys I've asked this before I think but it was a long time ago. I'm looking at the Varrstoen 2.2.1 and I'm not wanting to do any fender work. What size will look aggressive or just look good and would a 225/40 or 235/40 fit better all around? Can you guys post the specs of the rim sizes thy won't rub? I'm on stock height and haven't decided if I'm going lower.anything around 18x9 or 9.5 would be good if you could post offsets
