no, you wont have much. i do however scrape a little over big bumps if i go too fast, and if i dip too low going out, my bumper sometimes hits. rubbing issues isnt an issue, i SOMETIMES rub a little if i turn too hard..nothing huge.

naw, shouldn't run into any problems with low pro's and 17's on in the summertime. I use my 17" rims as summer tires...works fine. Only thing to keep in mind is if you go with any other tire size like 215/45/17 instead of the 205/40/17 with the s-techs, u may have rubbing issues and will need to roll the fenders.

205/40/17 is the perfect fit to not have to deal with any rubbing problems. Only drawback to those tires is you will notice the ride may be a little less on the comfort side (not anything that bothers me), but it is a big difference if you are used to riding on 14" wheels.

Just keep that in mind when u buy tires for the 17" rims =)

Your telling me if my camber is kinda off, I just go get an alignment and it will fix it!? Because if thats the case im not gonna spend the 300$ on a front and rear camber kit.
yeah, the camber will be slightly off with the s-techs. anything having to do with changing springs and shocks on your car will most likely throw off your alignment. It's HIGHLY suggested to bring your car in to align after you change those out. When you do they can fix the camber. As stated earlier, the shims (aka. washers) will be put in to fix teh negative camber.

It'll definately save you a lot of money goin this route instead of paying for the camber kit.

the s-techs dont have any bottoming out issues. Only problem I used to have was with my resonator. I was running a greddy sp2 cat-back exhaust, and if anyone knows about this exhaust, the resonator is huge, so it hangs real low to the ground. after lowering my car i would scrap that on half the speedbumps I went over, which eventually led to exhaust leaks in my exhaust system every couple months.

you shouldn't have a problem with scraping though. I didn't have to worry too much about scraping off driveways. if you have a body kit or lip kit, that's another story. Before adding the mugen-style front lip, i could go down most driveways fairly straight, just going slow, but once adding the lip, i realized that those driveways I'd have to go down at angles and slowly as well to avoid scraping.

but yeah, the s-techs aren't really a CRAZY drop....those have almost a 2" drop.

hope that helps!
