Yes I have 18" wheels. I have no problems scrubbing out or anything but you have to pay attention or it could happen.

Yes I take my car to the mountains a couple of times per month to drive aggressively through the corners. Like I said before just go slow and you won't have any problems scraping.

prepare some money for shocks soon since this kind of drop will kill your shocks less than a year. i think tein s tech is a good choice.
i've been there, done that.

I like your fender. Which brand is that? and how's the fitment on that thing? Did you have to drill the holes?
no matter you drop 1.5 or 2.5, its all depend on how you drive your car, if you drive it carefully, your shocks/struts will not blown that fast, BUT if you drive it hard, you might need to change it every 10 months or less.
I have Sprint Springs with 2.0 dropped all around, I have been using it for 2 years with Stock Shocks/Struts, they are still strong eventho the streets in New York are so bad.
03GTSTRD - Nice car bro! Would you mind to post more pics? or send it to me : streetartceli@aol.com

Thanks bro! They are the fenders that Nopi sells as it's house brand. They fit OK but not perfect. I could make them fit pretty good with some work but I just don't have time. Yes you have to drill the holes out to install these fenders.
definetely a sweet ride, the TRD kit doesnt look that high anymore with skunk2 springs and I like to see no gaps between tires and fenders :)
