Hey guys,
I dropped my car yesterday and now I need some help. The car doesn't take bumps very well at all. But I expected it. I hear some rubbing in the back and assume I'm gonna need my fenders rolled. Is this a common thing to do with a drop? My front doesn't rub, however I hear a strectching sound with the steering wheel. I did the work myself and I didn't see any rubber whatsoever. I'm wondering if the old topcap and bottom mount of the spring have to adjust to the new spring? Again is this common? My stats for suspension are below. Front: Stock strut assembly (105k miles) KYB strut insert TEIN S-Spring 1.5" Dropped spring 19" x 8.5 rims on 225/35/19 Back: KYB strut assembly TEIN S-Spring 1" Dropped spring 19" x 8.5 rims on 245/35/19 Now aside from that - the car looks B-E-A-UTIFUL. The rear is soooo wide on 245 tires and dropped. Pictures below. My car is very dirty and I just took them so its night time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

NO, that is not common.
I think that the reason you're having these problems is because 1.5 " drop does'nt work well with 19's. Now another thing that comes into play is how good your shocks are, cause if they'er bad, bumps feel like crap and the car bounces more and rubs on the tires. As for the Tein springs, I dont know much about them, bu you should find out what spring rates are on them. I might be talking out of my a**, so if I don't make any sense, someone please correct me. |
