Rubbing with 15s!!!!

[CivicKid95]

I know, its rediculous. I had a friend ride in my back seat today. I just got my 15" Rota slipstreams with Falken Azenis. When I went over a bump, the back tire where my friend was sitting rubbed really badly. I'm thinkin I need some stiffer springs. Would that fix the problem? Now I'm worried that I wont get stiff enough coilovers.

just go with the damper kit but it will cost you some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[CivicKid95]

yeah well the deal is I only have a few hundred bucks so the coilovers are out of the question for now. I'm thinkin ill just not let people sit in the back. ha, but seriously, i gotta fix this. do I need new shocks?

 

[itsmycookie]

tear out you back seats....

 

[CivicKid95]

wat does damper kit do?

The deal is I'm not lowered, and I JUST put on some 15" rotas today with falekn azenis tires. I think the rims might be the 15x7, which maybe goes out just abit too much. the tir rubs on the rear passenger fender. still, theres a good 2.5 inches between the tire and the fender when im parked, which makes me think that i need some new struts.

i need some new struts

 

[CivicKid95]

ya think? that's what im thinkin.

 

[05]

to be honest i dont know but i cant even imagine what else would cause you to rub unless you had some monster truck tires

 

[CRX_dude]

sounds to me like you need new struts...

 

[itsmycookie]

or you springs are shot. you car moves 2.5 inches going over bumps? sounds to me like your springs are dead.

 

[CivicKid95]

well i wanted coilovers anyway....... guess i gotta get 750 for tein basics

 

[jaypee0930]

oh that's the one I want...

 

[CivicKid95]

only 690 on sportcompactonly.com

 

[CivicKid95]

so i should just go for the gold and get new struts and springs by gettin some coilovers? i guess.......now i only need 590 more dollars
