Ya that must be quite tight. I had 205/50/17 mounted on Mazda 3 GT rims before the ones I have now and there was barely any wheel gap.

If you don't rub with 205/40/17 then you shouldn't rub with the 215's even with the eibach pro-kit. Do you actually rub with the current tires? I rub on the inside when I have the passengers in the back but besides that, I don't and you have the same offset as me with 1 inch narrower wheel, same...

If I lower the car, add some camber and adjust a few things it can work better than what I actually have right now. AWR had their P5 pace car with a big drop with 18x8 40mm offset and Anthony said that it was better dropped with camber for wheel and tire clearance.

Installation of the front and rear took about 2 hours and a half hours (80-90% of that time was spent on the rear mount because it is insanely difficult to get to). Installation of the passenger and tranny mount took about an hour and a half (if I recall correctly, the tranny mount is said to...

I wanted to share my experience with these motor mounts. I installed the front and rear 88 durometer mounts at first. Pros: -Overall better "feel" to it -Much better shifting (the shifter does not move back and forth anymore like it used to) -Engine response is improved...

DarkStar Motorsports is a terrible company. I ordered the 4 piece motor mount set for my protege and after 10 days I didn't get any sort of confirmation from them or the status of my item. I then called them and never got an answer back. I proceeded to open a dispute on Paypal and they refunded...
