Default tein s-tech + kyb gr2's + 205/40/17's = HOW MUCH TIRE RUB

VEHICLE-2000 CIVIC EX

ok guys I am just wondering how much if any will my tires rub when making turns on a flat or inclined surface?

I am sorry if this is a dumb topic or if it has been covered before


i was dropped on shitty coilovers and some red suspension's shocks and this would cause major tire bite up front because it was slammed. I was forced to remove my fender liners and i also rubbed so bad one time that it put a quarter size dent in my fender.

hopefully now i can replace my fender liners with some new ones and not worry about them getting destroyed by the tires.

any comments are appreciated

i dont think any better of a coilover is going to help you persay... you get tire rub because "it was slammed." You cant have it insanely low and not expect probelms. YOu need to modify something so that you DOnt get tire rub. i really dont think a better shock/spring will help you unless you push your car up alittle bit


that's what i think

well the s-tech's should bring it up about 1 inch

but they are a softer spring so it may cause some type of rubbage still

Well, i had my 17s' on for a few months and took them off because i couldn't stand them anymore. You're from S.A, the roads suck and i bent one rim only one month after having them on my hatch. So now they're for sale. Know anyone that wants some 17in Buddy Clubs ? I have almost the exact same set up as you except i have Illumina adjustables. The S Techs suck cuz of the soft spring rates and your gonna be rubbing like a ****.
