Rubbing bad- can I get larger spring pads to lift the rear?

[ac3]

The rear is rubbing pretty bad and I already rolled the fenders. It rubs even with no one in the back seat under hard cornering. I guess the tire combo I got is too agressive... Problem is, I love the meaty tires and I don't want to change the suspension.

Could I use some of these spring pads? If so what do you think... 10mm? The rear looks too low as it sits now.



my setup: h&r sport / bilstein sport, 15mm drophats, 225/50R15all around- front wheels are 7.5inch (et 20ish), rear wheels are 8.0inch (et14) BBS RM's.

That's a pretty aggressive rear set up. I'm running the same, but my rear wheels are et20. I had to put some small pads in to keep it from rubbing.

Stick a thick pad on top and bottom.

Can you roll the fenders more?

[ac3]

I don't think I can roll much more. Should I go with 10 or 15mm thick pads for top and bottom? I don't know how big the stock pads are now...

if you run pads, the suspension will lift.. if that's ok i would recommend that. otherwise, i am afraid the only way to stay low and keep the meat, is to pull the fenders.. your call

good luck

Well the front's too high but it's not going any lower so I figured a slight lift in the rear would be ok. Going to try out some 10 or 15mm pads and see what happens...

If you're going to order some, order the 15mm.

wait how does that rub ?

wait how does that rub ?

because he has proper sized tires and those springs are soft.
