Default TIRE RUB TIRE RUB!!!! will integra rear springs lift my EF up in the back?????????

I hear teg springs are 1-2" longer than EF civics, would they fit right onto my strut without problems?


i just put 15" GSR wheels on and i have TEIN 1.5" drop springs. the tires rub really bad. they run the INSIDE of the wheel well.

I also have megan racing LCA's from 92-95 civic, and I think they add a little bit negative camber, which could also cause the tire to be rubbing the inside of the well.


everytime I hit a hard bump or pull .15 lateral G's it rubs. it is very annoying I havent got to push this car since I bought it due to these problems.


So I am goign to do the old spacer positive camber trick, and if that doesnt work,


I have two options. RAISE CAR. or PUT SPACER IN WHEEL, then grind out OUTER FENDER>

so will teg springs raise my car?

I think either way it is going to rub becuase it rubs now and the susupension still has plenty of travel left.


Please HELP!

THanks.

Unless you have superwide tires, I bet the EG LCA's are causing the rub in the rear. 1.5" drop certainly wouldn't cause a rub, nor anything else you posted.

Teg springs should raise your car and stiffen the suspension travel, but it won't necessarily solve the problem. You said yourself you still have plenty of travel left.

Is it front and rear or just rear that rubs?

hey guys thank for the replies.

I am thinking the LCA's add a lot of neg camber, and they are rubbing the inside. i could put washers in the upper a-arm to kick the camber out, but i still dont see how they wont rub. i recently bidded on some wheel spacers, 5/16"..
i have gsr fat-five rims with nitto 450's 205/50/r15s.


the fronts dont really rub except for parking lot turns but they arent really a problem. the backs rub every time i hit a bump. they also rub when i go around a corner.
