The 120lb/105lb rate is only slightly stiffer than stock, but the geometry of this setup and the dampening rate is such that the car will handle like a finely tuned sports car. This suspension is not your typical "tuner ride" that is harsh and bouncy. It's an improvement everywhere from stock.
The amount your tires contact your fenders depends on what tires you want to run, the offset and width of your wheels and your camber settings. With negative camber, and the right tires, you won't rub at all with slight wheel gap. Here are some examples of cars that don't rub at all or only a little in extreme cases. These cars all have rolled fenders, but the fenders have not been cut at all.
This is a 13x6 wheel, 12mm offset. Approximately 3.5" suspension drop. 175/50-13 tires. -3 degrees camber all the way around. No rubbing at all.
These wheels are 14x7 with a 15mm offset. The tires are 165/55-14. The suspension is dropped about 3.75". About 3 degrees negative camber all the way around. No rubbing and a really comfortable ride. Note: this car was driven like this for a 6000 mile road trip with no abnormal tire wear issues. It was very comfortable and was stable at well over 100mph. The car was raced in time trials racing at a local track and was capable of spec miata lap times on these tires. A very versatile setup.
The wheels are 15x7 with a 28mm offset. Tires are 165/45-15. Car is about 3.5" lower than stock. Camber is set at -2.8 degrees all the way around. Note: Car was driven on 6000 mile road trip with no abnormal tire wear issues.
The wheels are 15x6 with 43mm offset and 10mm wheel spacers for a 33mm final offset. Tires are 165/45-15. Car has a 3" drop from stock. Rear camber is stock, front is at 2 degrees. Note: all 3 cars in this photo have this suspension setup and are all daily driven by people over 50 years old. The two cars in the background have both been from coast to coast and back with no problems.
