Default Tein Basic Damper HHHHEEEELLLLPPPPP

Yo, I just bought some Tein Basic Dampers . No matter what height I set it at it always scraps. Tell me something good. 205/50/16 tire size, the tires aren't the issue, it just when I hit a hard bump or weight shifts suddenly the car gives and scraps. The front is dropped about a inch and a half. The back about an inch. I have the back set almost as high as it can go. Help

Sorry no picks, I don't know how to save pics to an "url".

What offset are you running on your wheels?

Try adjusting the dampering (should be a little dial thing (set it to the highest number ((stiffest)) (then work downward to suit your driving needs)) not the ride height.

basics dont have damper adjustments....
do you have camber kit?
it could also be the offset of ur wheels being too wide..

Yep, that's what I was told. The offset is too wide.

So will 205/45/16 do better?
