take one spring out of the rear and jack the tire all the way up as far as it goes. That will tell you how much clearance you have when you lower it.

nah jus put a floor jack under the camber arm and jack it up. lifting the bucket will work too i think. oh even better get a piece of flat square wood on top of the jack under the tire and jack that up

just want to know if anyone has a similar setup and can provide some feedback.
thanks in advance.
Wheel size with your offset is perfect for a coupe, you could lower it another 1/2" without rubbing. However, if you ever intend to go with 285/35s out back you'll need to roll those rear lips. I have similar wheel size with mid 20s offsets running Michelin Pilot Super Sport 285s without rubbing. Don't mess with your rear alignment just to get the 285s on since they'll wear prematurely! Shame you don't live on the left coast, we have members and shops that wouldn't hesitate to roll/pull those rear fenders...Gary
