damn! $36 is a steal, nice choice of springs too i heard a lot of good things about Tein springs but a word of advice i would wait on installing them until you get a set of new struts like GR-2's so you can do one installation because you WILL have to change your stock struts very soon if your ride those Tein's on them

I want to lower my car a bit cos the wheel gaps are huge. I've been looking at Tein since it is inexpensive and good. But I think I should hold it off till the most snowy part of winter is over. (Btw I drive a '03 ES I4 with factory 16" alloys.) But is it necessary to change out your shocks and struts as well? If so, are the KYB GR2 sufficient for aggressive street driving but no track? Or should I go for AGX, or Tein Basic Damper (out of budget)?

i got a question for lowering kits
i have the H&R spings with KYB GR2 shocks on 18x8 HP
but im having a rubbing problem in the rear wheel well
do you guys have any problems with the tires rubbing
and if not what can be causing this problem
need some help

i also went to this local wheel store to roll the rear fenders
and when i saw how the guy was rolling the fenders i almost shot him
he used a baseball bat and jammed it in between the tire and wheel well and rolled the car back and forth
how ghetto was that and i payed 30 for that
lesson learned

that could be a number of things but most likely the offset of your wheels and also your camber the width of your wheel is kinda big for a low drop .wut is the drop for H&r springs?

sound like your offset on the wheels is a lil to high because that drop is nothin in the back you need to call or somthin to figure out the offset off your wheels. there are people around with 19*8.0 and 8.5 droped lower with no rubbing

offset does make a difference. I have 18x8 w/ a 38mm offset and they rub in the back. Im going to roll my fenders but I think im going to get rid of the rims altogether and pick up the Piaa super rozza in 19s :twisted:

The offset for 19 piaa rims is 45mm
