Stock rims/tires probably won't rub. Espiler have a pretty big drop at 1.3" so you might find yourself hitting the bump stops on the shocks. I have RA-1's at 235/275, sold the espiler's I had 'cause I knew my tires would rub (I've had a couple rubs with stock setup).

1.3" is a big drop?

I dont want any problems with rubbing, and handling, maybe i should just leave it stock.....

Hmmmm

Not specifically on the springs but I don't see why a subjective item (lowering for looks - I think mine looks fine at stock height) should override a technical one. I'd certainly lower mine if it 1) fit in the rules and 2) provided a useful performance upgrade. You should realize that you need to look at much more than ride height when contemplating this since it alters the suspension geometry and that may need to be fixed, too (typed by someone who has no idea what would need to be checked nor how to fix it).

For street use, the car already scrapes easily enough...
