Guys,

I have Tein S Tech spring on my 98 coupe. It it kinda low and rub the front fender when I turn. What can I do to raise it up abit beside buying a new set of spring ?

Thanks,

BT

depends on how far up you want to go. different springs would be the best way. or even coilovers.

stiffening the shocks may help keep the car up a little.
if you don't want to get new springs and you don't want to stiffen up the ride, you can slip a thin peice of something under the top hat rubber peice to raise the car a very little bit. (between the top hat and the rubber perch thing)
I ran with a few layers of inner tube under mine for while with no problems.
It's obviously not the best option, but as long as you keep it <1/8" it should make no difference saftey wise.

I'll probibly get flamed for that idea though...
