Not tracking at all, in fact the only work these coils would ever see is highway cruising and driving around in 25mph city traffic.

Will definitely do. I can straight up say the Basics were so noisy in comparison to these. These are very quiet, smooth, priced EXTREMELY well and get you super low. After raising the car just a little I was able to take the car to higher speeds, around 80-95. Took some dips on the freeway and no rubbing. Tire is still tucked in the front a little as well.

The only time I notice the tire hitting the plastic in the fender is when there is a bump AND the road is curving. Once I get sway bars it will solve that issue.

Ooooooh, I got it now. Thought it was the hard plastic where the front lip is. Hmmm, I'll check it out. Is it worth taking it off? I don't want to risk bottoming out and damaging the tires.

40-35 probably wont make a difference, its just a small percentage of steep driveways that you have to be careful going up, it wont crack the sideskirts, just scrape. But you're safe if you go slow.

the rear part of the skirts shows some signs of scrapping, its really minor, and hard to imagine. but hopefully these pics will help

Wow, those pics look so sick

Damn, that's dumped. But you sedan guys have all the clearance in the world.

My Coupe is not considered "dumped" yet I have less clearance than you do (stock sides, nismo front, dropped on HKS Hipermax).
