    FK 60/40 struts....rubbing terrible

    I put the new springs on the car along with new Monroe shocks (I know, Billies coming next spring.) and the car is rubbing horribly, any bump its real bad, its rubbing on the top of the wheel well, any suggestions?

    What size tires do you have? Also the Monroe shocks are not valved correctly to be able to cope with increased spring rate of the new springs.

        get rid of the oversized tires dumbass.

        Put it back to stock, those springs are tooo low and too stiff for those shocks.

        or you know what...keep them, n r3v your car.

                Dude....unnecessary. Don't ruin this sweet forum with the hate. I am in the process of ordering new wheels + tires for the car. Thanks for the help! (for those who are helpful)
