Correct as long as you run a decent amount of negative camber in the -2 to -3 range. Remember the wheel travel tucks in as it compresses upward, depending on the camber degree you have to start with and how much wheel gap you have at rest will dictate everything, If i had a pick of your car I could tell you almost exactly what camber you need to run or if any trimming needed (which I doubt you will need
Some buddies at Wheel Works put the rear camber -2 front -1.7. Still rubbing.

^^^
You rubbing in the front and rear or just the rear? You have another -1 camber to go in the back if needed before cutting. But I would just plan on cutting the rear regardless anyway even if you dont need it right now. Once you lower your clearences are going to be tighter and your camber will increase, leave it at -2 and cut the fenders, then when you lower your car will be about -3 and you can fine tune it from there. If you dont want to cut, then go for -2.5 in the back and 2.5 up front if needed. I'm suprised you rub actually with that much wheel gap right now. Those Kumos profile must really bulge out on the edge and you must be really taking some hard hits, quit jumping your car your cloivers will be stiffer and more damping will help you.

I'd go for a good 1 1/2 drop for starters.

No mine are on my car and pretty beat up so i doubt you want them i'm sure there is plenty new ones on ebay to choose from though
