I just installed 25 mm spacers on my wheels, 15" x 6.5" with 38 mm offset. I love the look, but now the rear wheels occasionally rub the fenders, particularly if I hit a dip or hump with a little too much velocity.
 My springs and struts are all original and I have 124,000+ miles on my '97 convertible. First, would new suspension components help tighten things up enough to minimize and perhaps eliminate the rubbing? Second, what should I get? At one point, I was going to lower it with Tein S-Techs and KYB GR2's, but now, obviously, the lowering would be ill-advised. So are there good non-lowering performance springs that I can put on with the KYB struts? Thanks for the help.

probably too long, but hey i have a 45 offset in my wheel, so i can probably try 20 mm spacers, ill just have to measure with a ruler.
About rolling the fenders, somebody here did it at home. just dont recall who... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
