Kyb Gr-2's are said to be near stock replacements. that being said, a strut should'nt be compressed too much(unless its a performence strut). I think u would be fine w/ pro lines, but sport lines are risky, for both tires and struts. i think struts tend to blow when compressed too often, and too much. you could probably try Tokico HP's or Kyb Agx's to compensate for the drop, as these performance struts handle the drop better than stock peices...as for the tire rubbing part, i would ask someone who has a similar setup, and go from there. it also depends on how much $$$ you wanna throw down, they say u get what u pay for, and this holds true in the suspension dept.(w/ harsh rides and what not)
