215/50/17 tires rubs? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey everyone, will 215/50/17 rub if I drop the car with Tiens, intrax, or Sprint springs? I want to get the best drop without rubbing or needing to have a camber kit in that matter. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

Car: 2000 V6 solara

the size of tire will not rub but only eibach prokit allow you to have good camber. if your lower is lower then 1.5", you need buy camber kit.

no youdont need a camber kit if you lower more then 1.5"

the tyres themselves will not rub if you have an ideal offset for your wheels.

I'm just clueless on what springs to get now....I used to have intrax springs which were pretty good. But now its just I hear this and that, I don't know. I've search and heard Tein springs sags and get soft after a period of time. Eibach doesn't give a low enough drop but are reliable, sprints bounce, so I really don't know. What is worth getting?

i have never came across a posting about TEIN springs sagging

you might be refering to sprint springs

Thanks for the replies guys. I was going to go with teins but I found some Eibach Pro-kit Springs for 50 bucks....so I'm going with those. All I need now are some tokico HP struts and I'm set, anyone know where to get them cheaper than 350 shipped? I've searched on forums here, solaraguy, google, ebay, craiglist....I'm guessing I just need to be patient and keep searching until I find a better deal.. hopefully someone knows where I can get them cheaper than that price.

Thanks again everyone,
Calvin
