Rear Spring question I am going on a road trip in a few months and there will be 4 of us in my car. Right now my rear springs are BMR with the HH mod. With just regular driving my fenders already slice my tires a bit. I will be rolling the fenders before I go either way. With 4 people in the car I don't want to rub the entire way and destroy my tires.
Would I be better off putting the stock springs and isolaters back in to raise the rear or would just the stock isolaters on top of the BMR's be good enough? Or will I just be fine in general after my fenders are rolled and the rear wheels will just be tucked up a bit?

Sounds good. That's what I was leaning towards anyways but I just wanted to check. Car should have a nasty rake once I swap them 
Need to get a set of springs now ha.
Need to get a set of springs now ha. I "road tripped" mine back in june, but I was by myself, I don't think I could stand a LONG drive with that many other people crammed into a car this size, but then again I get sudden fits of claustrophobia from time to time.
but I guess it depends on just how long a road trip where talking, mine was like 700 miles in 1 day to get there.

IMO, with the fender lips rolled and the stock isolators put back in with the BMR springs you'll probably be fine if both rear passengers are not more than 300 lbs total. BTW, if you also install a set of Air Assist air springs in the middle of the coil springs weight won't be any problem.
