Suspention

[Bugermass]

I'm tryin to get some opinions on what suspention to buy. .I already have the Eibach Sport Kit and 17in rims with 40 series tires but the wheels rub the fenders and the handling isn't all the great.. What would you guys recommend with that size tire.. I'm tryin to get the best handling for the money here ..

what size tires are u running now??....ideal setup would be..up front...17 x 7" rim....215/40/17....rears....17 x 8" or 9" rim....225 or 235/40/17.....

eibachs dont lower the car all that much so i'm wondering why ur having rubbing issues....what offset r ur rims??....u can also look into getting other suspension components...front and rear tower bars....adjustable shocks.....sway bars....

I got 235/40/17s all the way around as far as the offset goes I have no idea, I bought the car with the rims already on it.. The rear doesn't rub only the front when I hit bumps, or if I turn the wheel all the way or say I'm turning while going up an incline IE my driveway.. Heck even just makin a semi tight corner .0005Gs or greater haha.. The Sport Line eibachs are like 1.6front 1.6 rear drop.. All I know is my fenders are eatin up my tires and vise versus. . Is there a way to measure the offset?? I know a crap load about motors trannies and engine managment but ask me about offsets and I'm lost.. haha. Thanks. . They are eagle rims if that helps. . 5 or 6 spoke I"ll have to run out side in a bit to check ..

theres ur problem right there....235s up front are way too big...no wonder ur rubbing the fender....get urself 215s up front n u'll find the car handle much better.....just by looking at ur car..i bet the front tires stick out past the fender??...

Thanks. . i'll do that asap. . you have any recomendations on tires? I used to run Nitto Drag radials on my Old car, and 450s in the front, whats a really god high speed high grip tire, I'm no concerned about wet traction since I don't drive the car in the rain..

TOYO T1-S are the only tires for me..great in dry and wet conditions.....if u dont drive in the rain..then get the toyo RA-1s....super sticky......
