    NONSENSE!!  Don't speak such words!  Too low is when the tires don't turn
anymore cuz the car is resting on them :)

    Hey Dan, right now my 16V has blown struts up front matched with stock
springs that have had 1.5 coils chopped off.  Awesome for dragging, but
terrible in the twisties.  I managed to stop about 95% of the rubbing by
removing the front inner-splash guards.  They're held in by 11 screws, if I'm
not mistaken, and come out really easy.  Have you done this yet?  It would
probably give you some relief if you haven't yet.  HTH!
