Coilover?

ridin135 · 04-01-2009, 04:26 PM

Did a quick search but couldn't come up with the answer I was looking for. Are there any coilover's for our cars that have enough adjustment to not drop the car from stock? My problem is my wheels rear offset is large and already has problems with rubbing when I hit bumps in the road.

roll or cut your fenders

I agree with FMXOMAR, sound like you are going to have to roll or cut your fenders. If you are already rubbing on stock suspension then it will be worse with coilovers.

rolling unfortunatly wont fix my problem and cutting is not an option for me. So there is no coilovers available for our cars that you can increase the height? Thanks for your replies.

This defeats the purpose of coilovers and what they are meant for...

Either ROLL OR CUT your fenders, this is the best option, you pay to play.

They are not only made to reduce center of gravity. The increase in shock stiffness along with spring stiffness makes a bigger difference.

what do you mean "rolling wont work for you" how will it not work, areyou running some 4x4 tires or what i would like to see pics of this

lifting your car is not the way to fix the problem.

what are the size of your rims, the offset, and tire size

heres 18x9.5 +45 offset with 255 35 18 tires with shaved fenders, but could easily have got away with rolling them

Yes, coil-overs with custom spring length can get your car at or above stock ride height.
