Also, the mounting solution I"m using is essentially this one: http://www.rammount.com/part/RAM-B-166-AP18U

You really only need to burnish brakes after you swap them out. If you swap them out, then YES, I would absolutely do this. It also ensures they're bedded properly.

Are coilover's a safe bet? i.e. is it near guaranteed that they would resolve my rubbing issue? Logically, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't. I'm really hoping to keep the 275s in the front, and...

Also, to be clear, I'm not averse to using camber plates -- if I can keep the 275's in the front, then I plan on it. But I'm concerned that, given that I'm rubbing the spring perch, camber plates...

I can only imagine that this is due to either my tires being too tall, or the strut being too short from knuckle to spring perch (which seems ridiculous, and I truly hope is not the case).

Really awesome. I like the matte black look. I plasti-dipped my hood, but used a can, so it came out super uneven. Will not plasti-dip large surfaces again unless I use a spray gun!
