Thanks I got Bilstein HD struts and installed Canuck Motorsports lowering springs on them with all new GM OEM strut mounts. Canuck's lowering specs are 1.5" drop in front and 1.8" rear. The ride is stiffer but not too stiff, it's nice and the car's lower stance is awesome. No rubbing issues with the factory wheels. Just need to be more aware of parking and entering/exiting places with steep driveways so you don't plow the front bumper into anything. I get away with it just fine even in Michigan where our roads are terrible.
