Coilovers are working great! I love how they ride. They ride super smooth. At some bumps I would say stock suspension on sport mode is stiffer. I have my dampening set at 1/4 stiff all around. Il prolly stiffen them up. But yes the ADS light is on but d2 is currently working on a module for the light.
Hopefully they figure something out soon, might just buy springs for this season then coils next season.

Supposedly it should be out soon within a month or so. I would just wait if I was you.

I just installed my d2 coilovers on my si and put 20mm spacers up front and it sits real flush with the fender. I did not add any camber because I didn’t want camber and it rubbed on that tab a ton. I ended up taking the screw out, folding the liner behind the tab, heated up the paint on the tab and bent it with a rubber hammer. Now it doesn’t rub at all and still looks as if I did not modify anything. Il try to post pics tomorrow of a close up of it but here’s pics of the fitment so you get an idea of how close it was.

Can you take a pic of your tabs? I just lowered my car on coils, and my tires are resting on that screw!!

What size of wheels/tires is the OP running? Seems like that could be a cause of the rubbing. Plenty of other forum members have more aggressive springs or coilovers than Eibach Pro
I’m running 18x8.5 +33 in stock tires

Just lowered my car on eibach pro kit springs and was seeing if anyone has a problem with rubbing on the screw by the side markers and if there was a solution to this problem.
I'm also lowered on Eibach Pro-Kits on my MY17 Si and having the same issue only on hard bumps and potholes. I've seen people "roll" that tab and it seems to fix this issue.

You think if I just bent it up it would be good?

I experienced rubbing on the front fender liner tabs, on most dips/bumps right after installing the Eibach Prokit springs (18x8.5 35MM Konig wheels with stock Goodyear all seasons).

I rolled (folded over really) the fender liner tab and tucked the fender liner behind it.

No modification done yet, driver side view of the tab:

Screw removed. You can also see where the tire rubbed through the fender liner.

Yellow arrow: Side marker (for location reference)
Red arrow: Fender liner "rolled" or bent upwards against the inner fender. I then tucked the fender liner behind the tab to help hold it in place.

I would advise you heat up the tab prior rolling/bending to avoid cracking the paint like I did.

Lots of discussion in the below thread regarding these springs. FYI

Coilovers are working extraordinary! I cherish how they ride. They ride super smooth. At a few knocks I would state stock suspension on don mode is stiffer. I have my hosing set at 1/4 solid all around. Il prolly solidify them up. In any case, yes the ADS light is on however d2 is right now dealing with a module for the light.

Does it rub after this modification? I just lowered my si coupe on D2 springs with stock so wheels with 20mm spacers and I'm rubbing in that same exact spot

Folding the tab fixed the rubbing for me. I run 235/40R18 with 18x8.5 35
