hey i was just wondering about the tein s tech springs....it says it drop 2.4 inches in the front and i was wondering is there any rubbing of the tires and is it hard to get over speed bumps?

 

rubbing on 19's from what i hear, and minor rubbing with 18's ony when it's turned all the way to one direction

 

It also depends on how much weight you have in your car. You might be fine one day, and then decide to give 4 of your friends a ride and will rub.

 

Do not listen to this guy.

I have 19x8's and S-Techs and I only rub on the left inner fender when I take corners EXTREMELY hard. I did lots of research before purchasing and that seems to be common with most on 19's. I also have no issues with rubbing during full-lock (left or right) turns

Don't let that scare you though, I drive fairly aggresively and I only rub once to twice per month.

I have NEVER heard of anyone rubbing with 18's with a reasonable offset/width. Obviously if you run a crazy offset or 9+ inch wheels, you need may need to do some trimming

If you like the low look, like I do, get the S-Techs. If you want a bit more comfort, go with the HR's.

Hope it helps-BrianH

 

I had S techs and 20's no rubbing. I have a ton of weight in the car and have 4 people in the car also. It is all in your offset of the wheels.

 

what offset would you go with no limitz

 

I'm running 15's (not stock) but with orig tires. No rubbing at all in 12,000 miles with a variety of weight, conditions.

Speed bumps are not a problem when taken SLOWLY.
Treat it like any other lowered car.

Add a set of Koni Sportline shocks set to 1/2 turn from max soft in the rear for a great improvement in ride.

 

[quote="texasisbigger"]I agree. the look can't be beat. And handling is improved.
