Default which strut should i use??i

I Have h techs on stock struts with a 18x8inch wheel 35 offset slight rub.I wanted to go stiffer but I can't seem to find the right combo with h techs.I know h techs are a luxury spring and are ment to compress a lot but I need a strut that will counteract that.what do you guys recomend for a little less compression travel in my shocks??thanks any info is appriciated

A strut really won't give you what you need. (That and I believe there are only 1 or 2 adjustable struts for the tC anyways)

First, if you're rubbing, you have a wheel/tire combo wrong.
Second, as someone already said, the strut won't necessarily do it. Koni yellows WILL help, but, as you said yourself, your springs are soft.

Get your wheel/tire combo straightened out first. Don't bandaid your car.
Only then, get Eibach Sportline springs. They are a bit stiffer, and actually have a warranty.
I have a feeling, though, that you're going stiffer to bandaid your wheel/tire choice.

I checked those eibach springs they are 2 inch drop all around and I didn't want to go that low in the back.I belive with the h techs I got 1.8 in the front and 1.5 in the rear but I guess a smaller tire would make sense.thanks all any other sugg.?
