Default Lowering on Neuspeed Sport's...Q

I have ordered my Neuspeed Sport Springs (the GREEN ones) and I wanted to know that when I lower it, won't it start rubbing?

If so (and I know it will) how can I fix this, I want to be able to turn my wheel all the way to be able to make sharp turns...

If anyone has any ideas feel free to let me know and if you are willing could I get some pictures on what you have done to fix the problem?

Thanks

the rubbing is entirely dependent on the wheel specs and whether or not you are getting camber correction.

I see you have 18x7.5" rims. What is the offset, and what is your tire size? Are you planning on getting rear camber correction?:

You mentioned turning...so do you mean the front tires rubbing when the wheel is turned?

If that's what you mean, I've never rubbed front fenders with my drop, it's pretty much the same, if not lower since I'm another .25" lower with my springs set on a lower perch on my shocks.

Edit...I see you have a 5th gen, maybe those guys can answer better.
