Tein S-Techs with 17in rims = rub?
I know S-Techs drop the 04 pretty low in the front, so my question is would my tires rub with the springs? Right now I have some Rota Actions and a 235 tire. Also I posted before but I need to ask the question again how long will my stock struts last with these springs? a year? 2 years?

Thanks,
Raymond

a lot of people say a drop more than 1.5'' (eibachs) will kill your stock struts really fast. Mines ended with about 8k miles even on the eibachs.
