These have a 4" lip out back so they just barely work when it comes to caliper clearance and offset, but I'm sure glad they worked out as I love the lip out back

Very nice! You've mentioned coilovers but do you have any other suspension mods? Does it rub? I drive in the canyons and would assume any hard driving with an aggressive offset would rub big time.

I have a little bit of rubbing on a bracket in the back, I need to investigate and see if it can be rectified. What's strange is that it usually only rubs within my neighborhood when I hit big dips that are only on one side at a slow speed. If I can't adjust the bracket or make room, I suppose I'll either need to raise the back just a touch or decide to live with it.

Suspension wise, it is stock other than the BC Racing coilovers. I'm quite happy with how the car rides and handles, so I'm not planning further suspension mods at this time.
