suspension help!!!!
hey guys i have lowered my 06 scion xb with tein s tech. my rear springs have sagged a lot more than i expected. i just recently bought a set of sportmax 002 wit 195/50/16 tires and the back rubs so much on every bump i hit.(the wheels i had before werent as wide so they didnt rub at all) i cant have anyone sit in the back b/c it rubs when i give it some gas. ive read a few posts but my question isnt quite answered yet. would i be better off wit new shocks/struts or get new springs wit struts? from wat ive read, i would need new springs and a set of monroe shocks/struts because they work decently nice. help!!!!

I am running 18" 7.5" wide 40MM offset wheel in the rear. I am also running a 215/40/18 oversized tire. With these wheels I can lower my car on my airbags all the way down till the suspension is fully down with no hitting of wheel to body (it just touches when the suspesion bottoms). A 35MM offset in this width would have been perfect, I used 5MM spacers to space the wheels out 5MM due to too little clearance at the inside (not hitting but too close for my comfort). If your wheels do not have the proper offset to clear the wheel opening at the outside I strongly recommend getting different wheels.
