Hey smart a$$. As you can see below my name, it says New CEG'R. From what I understood 215's were the fattest you could run, I've never heard otherwise, thus why I made the comment and was curious. So stick it.

I don't understand the "Drip, drip, drip" part of your sentence. Are you trying to be cute saying you are wacking it or are you just crying?
I just don't understand lame mans terms.

I'm running the BAT kit with Koni's, RS-5's and 215/45's and I have rubbing issues in the front. I just switched over from H&R's and never had this problem. It's mainly over bigger dips or uneven rolls in the pavement. The BAT's sit just about even with the HR's in the front, maybe a smidge higher. What gives?

It's called spring rate. From what you just said I would assume that the BAT springs are less stiff then the H&R's, therefore allowing more suspension travel to occur.

That's what I was thinking aswell, but I had the HR's on KYB struts which aren't as good as the Konis for lowering springs.

From my experience with Konis and KYB AGX's (obviously not on a contour) is that the Konis a by far softer as far as compression goes. They are about the same in rebound. The KYB's were incredibly harsh in compression. So I'd imagine it could be a combination of both softer springs and shocks that have a higher compression rate.
