My only issue currently is with rubbing from the inner top edge of the rear tire on the fender liner, and only under really heavy g-outs, so really uncommon anyway, the 285 is pretty big. No issue up front. I think you should be fine at a mild to modest drop from stock. If you are on stock suspension still, you will notice a pretty huge improvement going to a PSS10/B16 Bilstein setup.

Looks like you have a more aggressive wheel/tire setup than I do - so if you don't have any clearance issue with the front strut/perch or rear suspension area then I think I should be good as well. I'm fine with fender clearance with only rubbing at the bumper/fender liner at full compression - this is the main reason I don't want to go lower than stock.

I think the B16 PSS10 have internal bump stops front and rear, so I won't need the OE external bump stops on both front and rear, correct?

Thanks.

Thanks for the feedback. How often do you end up crashing into the bump stop/bottoming out with the B6s? More or less often than stock? Or about the same? I've heard mixed reviews about the B6s - some says they bottom out a lot and others are quite happy like yourself without any complaints on hitting the bump stops
