i rate them, my mate had some before and i've just fitted some today. we both went for -35mm and i must say tis a very generous -35mm on both cars, he was running the standard 2i alloys, and it looked very low, i am running rs2k alloys with 195/50's and theres less than a two finger gap between arch and tyre, and they've not even settled yet!! both cars seem to handle well and he had them over two years and had no probs with sagging, fatigue, or fractures

well i am running on brand new kyb excel-g gas shocks, and he was on the standard ford gas ones, and they work perfectly together keeping the ride comfy and supple so with the spax u should find a good ride handling combo. still don't understand why u are getting scraping tho, i suspect something is out of place, from wrong/poor quality pattern wishbones to chassis damage :(
