Pretty hard pull on the fenders. I've got bad bacon fender on the passenger side from forgetting to air up when backing out of my driveway. Did some pointless dent removal and used a heat gun to try and straighten things out. Gotta get some body work done soon maybe even radius the rears.

11 more mm would be some serious poke

The wheel design fits the JSW lines well! At stock ride height, you'll be fine, if you end up lowering you'll definitely want to roll your fenders and may still have a little rubbage. A little stretch will help too. If you can make it work, it'll look great!

I'm gonna end up going with air! Looking at AirLift Performance line with V2 management. I'll have to save a little longer but I'm pretty set on running these wheels!

Does the H&R Sport Cup Kit use Bilstein shocks/struts? I like the the drop height for H&R sport springs, now I'm just trying to decide which struts/shocks to get; Koni FSD, Bilstein, Koni STR.T, or just leave the stockers on with new springs. My car has 60k on it and I just want to make sure that it is still a comfortable (I know this is a very subjective term) ride for daily driving. My last car had 2Bennet coilovers which were geared much more towards track day use and the ride was very stiff for daily driving...wife was not a fan.

H&R kit comes with h&r labeled shocks "tuned" for the springs. I think these springs on stock dampers is a bad idea. The rebound on h&r dampers should be slightly stiffer on these in my opinion, and stock dampers will have no control over suspension action as well as not being adequate at the new travel dimensions. At 60k I would consider your stock dampers shot and suggest a refresh for sure.
