possible tire rub with new suspension??
Hey I have a 1995 CX with a real bad rear suspension. I have some audio stuff back there and its pretty heavy and also the rear suspension was going bad when I bought the car but that is beside the point. Anyways my step dad and I are going to put in my new suspension setup on Friday which is KYB GR2's with Tein S-Tech's.
What I was wondering is that with 195/60 R 15 88H tires, should I worry about rubbing either front or rear? I dont think so because my rear suspension is sho shot, that its almost riding on the tires as it is, and I dont think the drop will be so dramatic as to make it bottom out.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

thats what I thought because with the rear suspension the way it is now, its right above the tires, so I figure the drop should be so mild, that it wont even bring it down to that level with the new shocks in it too.

are those stock tires? sounds like a lil bigger, if there stock, you should be cool with even a 3" drop.

no they are aftermarket. They are kinda junky but the price was right so I got them. They rub real bad in the back but im hoping this new suspension will solve my problems without making them rub again.

if your shocks are shot, anything that isnt will help, cause its obviously riding too low. are these the right diameter? 185/60/R14 is stock. I got 205/40/R16 and there the same diameter as stock. But im sayin, you won't have a problem.

yeah my step dad thought the offset would be a problem, but I told him the drop wasnt low enough to cause a problem with 15 inch tires.
