9.5 +35 stock height with 235/40/18 tire doesn't rub (i've ran it before). I've ran the same setup lowered over 2" all around and experienced very slight rubbing on the liner in the fronts. I'm now on 9.5+15 wheels lowered 3" all around and run about 2.5 degrees camber in the front and it's all...
Has your mechanic installed coilovers before? Did that person lower the ride height by lowering the spring perch (top) and not the body (bottom) perch to lower and raise the entire strut?
It's not normal, period. Elaborate more on what you mean by"low scraping" sound. Squealing? Like when the brake pads are low and hitting the anti-squeal bar? Or metal to metal sound/feel? It's unlikely but the pads may have worn down unevenly and you're making metal to metal contact between the...
Installer probably f*cked them up during the install. I've run coilovers and bags on numerous cars with no issues at all. My EVO had bags for 50k miles with no issues. Switched back to coilovers and am currently at 120K miles with no issues and it's running 400wtq all day every day.
Depending on offset and backpad/disk, you can run 8-9.5" wide even if lowered. Depending on the width you go, just pick a tire with the same or similar tire diameter.
I'm currently on 9.5" wide +15 on 215/40/18 (slight smaller diameter).
if you're not lowering your car and running the same or similar diameter tire you won't have any issues. Myself and others are/have run up to 9.5" wide wheels with offsets around +30 to +35 on a moderate drop (1-2" all around) with no issues with rubbing. I'm currently running 9.5 wide +15...
You bent/pinched the pipe to create more clearance for the bumper and are really saying it won't effect functionality? Looking at the pics, that bend/pinch is creating a bottleneck, which restricts exhaust flow = disrupting functionality.
Regular Pricing for these wheels start at $4k for a set. That includes chrome hardware, polished lips and polished faces only.
My setup includes upgrades to chrome lips and faces that are brushed, then powder coated in translucent burnt copper and polished. About another $1k in extras. But I...
The "You're doing more damage by changing it" comment was probably not what the dealer really meant to say but an attempt to point out that some transmission fluids (Nissan, Toyota and others) are meant to be used for the life of the vehicle. As hard as it is to believe nowadays, those specific...
Air rides management systems are universal. They don't make a specific management kit for any car. You piece together what you want.
Airlift and others do make specific air struts for cars but there is also universal bags (think replacing the spring on your coilover with a bag).
Air Suspension is generally more expensive than most coilovers. But there are coilovers that are way more expensive the Air Suspension setups.
Air Suspension today is great for daily and some spirited driving (NOT Auto-X for sure). Air Suspension is generally costly because of more parts (Bags...
