I might invest in either a set of KYB AGX's or Koni's. That is if I oppose to getting a set of Tein's

I didnt get Teins....but I wanted to. I came to my senses and asked myself...."when am I going to need 16 points of adjustability on my commute to work or school?"

205/50x16" is the wrong size. Especially if you are dropped. You should get 205/45x16".
I'm running 215/40x16" on 16x7.5" rims and being dropped 2" I don't rub. Only problem I had was the rear wheel lip would hit the rear upper control arm. Which I fixed by filing it down.

205/45's on 16x7 is ideal.... zero rubbing with a 1.8" drop
