Hey
My 04 wagon is lowered on cobb lowering springs, and they are rubbing like mad, i have 17 X7.5 Rotas, and im looking for a quick fix, my tire wont last forever. is there some kind of spacer that I can raise the rear slightly, or are there some performance springs that are less of a drop than the cobb that hopefully wont rubb. thanks - Subyscots

Ps. sorry if this post is already out there, not perfected these forums yet.
Cheers!

 

What size tires are you running...you can take the lil rubber strip off of the rear..gives a lil more clearance..

 

I took them off already, and that worked so far for daily driving, but any hard cornering at all the rub is vicious.

 

225 i beleive is the tire size.

 

This thread is not at all what I thought it was going to be.

 

Troof!

 

cobbs drop the car too much if you are looking for optimal performance, instead look for swifts, prodrive, or RCE springs. cobb, tien s techs and perrin are good for looks

 

so "swifts, prodrive, or RCE springs" will be less of a drop? and the tire wall size is 45, is maybe that to big?

 

I think 45 series might be too big for 225's. I have tein h-tech's on my 02 wagon with agx struts and whiteline f + r sway bars and I don't rub at all. I'm running 18x8's with +44 offset. I could probably lower it about a 1/4 in. and still be fine. anything more and we need to roll the fenders or veer towards sedan fenders and pulled rear fenders(which looks awesome).

 

Oh yeah, my tire size is 225/40/18. Now that I think of it, 45 profile should be the right size. At least for 215's it was.

 

I think im trading my cobb springs for sti's plus $75
