BTW been watching your videos to learn buttonwillow, thanks for making those. I will be there Saturday with GF if you are there and see my car come say hi!
What i was trying to say is, since your ride height is stock, its higher for example to mine, so the wheel/tire/suspension would have a longer distance to travel before coming in contact to body work then on my car which is lower(but by no mean "low"). Also, since the length of the shock body is longer then aftermarket coilover shock bodies, under compression load, you'll bottom out( hit bump stop) with your wheel/tire further from the body work then if you had a aftermarket coilover with shorter shock bodies. This is my theory as to why you are not rubbing with 18x10.5 et15 285/35/18 up front.

Any questions you have from watching the vids? have you been there before?
i wont be there saturday, only Sunday for the time attack, ill be driving the Black JDM Civic Type R i drove at Willow springs
