    Suspension Problem/dilemma

    Hey guys I got a problem and a dilemma and I would like to see what you guys would think which would be best?. I lowered my car a month ago got KYB GR-2 struts and H&R Sport spring (1.8F/1.5R). And now my car rubs on the front fenders when I turn a corner above 45MPH. Im a big guy, and I know I lower the car more, but when me and my buddy get in it, forget it. Im basically a grandma on corners. My rears are perfect but the fronts are horrible. so which setups would keep my car lowered and I wont rub no more:

    1. 215/40 Tires with Eibach Springs (1.2F/1.0R)

    2. Keep my Tires 215/45 And H&R OE Sport (.75 F&R)

    Forgot to mention, I dont have the funds for new shocks so those im stuck with, as well as im on 17"rims. I dont know the offset and i couldnt find it on the inside of the rim, but they came off a 99' Accord, and they where 300 bucks so couldnt complain. Anything would help. (if you neeed a pic of the wheel gap let me know ill post them)

    i would say to get some adjustable coilovers, thats a cheap way to fix it.

      Are you sure everything was installed properly? Sounds to me like maybe something was put on wrong or your camber is REALLY off.. With that small of a drop I wouldnt think you would have any rub.. I am running Tein S techs which is about an inch more then your setup and I have no problems, although mine isnt fully settled and I only weigh 120lbs. How many fingers can you fit between the top of the tire and the fender with no one in the car? Later

        I can fit one finger in the front if i lift it slightly, And the car does have camberkits , and the alignment is set to factory. And as for the coilovers. I went that route before i loved the handeling but i didnt like the ride qualitly that much. Plus not to mention, I was on stock rims and tires and at that time.

          The simple solution is roll the fender.there is about a inch lip on the inside that might be rubbing... 1 finger gap is very strange for that small a drop. Im on neuspeed sports and i dont have that little a gap.

          I ended up rubbing in the rear not the front.. where is the actual rubbing happening? go to a parking lot and crank the wheels and speed up tell you start rubbing, hold it for a couple seconds and get out and feel the tire and fender and see where its actualy rubbing...

          Again you could probly just roll the fender in on the inside... there is always a chance that your just rubbing on the upper splash sheilds. Then the fix is remove or trim them up.
          I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.

            x2 as you can see my car sits pretty low and i have never rubbed with me (160 lbs) and 4 full grown men (200+ ea), however its a tighter fit then a xxx gal in a small shirt and skirt.

                Thats the thing i have no negative camber wear on my tires that i can tell with a ruler. The GR2's are new, I did the camber kit the springs as well. and got it aligned the next day. Its been now a month since everything has been put on the car.

                  I rubbed with 215/17/40 on H&R Sports and KYB AGX. The wheels are 42 offset. It just wore away the splash guard where it rubbed, and then it was fine With wheels that wide, it's normal. Your options are to raise the car, get skinnier wheels and tires, remove the plastic splash shields (which would probably increase noise and drag), or just take turns a bit wider.

                  Do you knock on the fenderwell with 0 camber? I did, as have many others... leaving about 1 degree of negative camber usually fixes that.

                        why is that. im running a 205/60 on 15 in. sport max

                        oh yeah would it be wise to go with a falken azenis 205/50 on a 15. being that this is the only tire size in that make for that rim.
