as a newbie to coilover suspension i was wondering if you guys run your coils really stiff to avoid rubbing or just have you fenders rolled to where it wont rub over bumps...?

also if you want to post any other daily driver tips please do

I usually try and roll the fenders as much as possible

Rubbing is part of the fun...

i'm running weak ass stock wheels for now so i have no rubbing issues, we'll see how that is when i get into the +20 offset range though.

Combination of rolled fenders, correct tire size, wheel offsets and alignment specs should get you by. I've seen some folks actually limit piston stroke on their coilovers by using longer bumpstops but that negates the point of using coilovers entirely.

There's bound to be even minor rub :D
