okay sorry guys if this question has been answered repeatedly but I did a search and came up with nothing that answered my questions and concerns

I have an 87 mustang gt, I put 17"x 9" rims on there with 245/45/17, and it only rubs when i have the wheels cranked either left or right, and that is okay I can live with that.....heres my problem I bought eibach sportline springs that is surpose to drop the car from anywhere from 1 - 2 inches, and if the tires already rub and there is only like an inch and a half in the front between the tire and the fender, and 2-3 inches in the back.....

Should I go ahead with lowering my stang and see if everything works out, or is there anything I can do so I can still lower my car, has anyone had this problem before that can chime in, that would be greatly apprecated

thanks!!
