Default Tokico blues, Neuspeed sports, and I'm too low for the new 16's!!!

Ok, to all those who have gone before me, I bow to you...

Now, I have a 98 LX accord 4cyl, 5 spd...put the above mentioned parts on, with a 50 series tire, 16" wheel, and had immediate issue with rear scraping on any bumps.

Took it back to shop that set me up with tires/wheels/rear "control arms" (probably a camber kit). They said no prob, and bent part of the wheel well up...seemed ok, but now over serious bumps, still getting scraping. When I had them do the work, I told them I had lowering springs, they got the rear arms to compensate...then the problems!

So, am I screwed? Is there another answer? TIA!

damn...you gave 11 minutes and expected an answer...chill!

sounds like you either have too positive camber or the offset on the wheels are way off.

hope this helps ya.

Latez,

Paul

Well, it was actually 12 hours and 11 minutes...but yes, I'm looking for some love. Thx!!!

Another theory is that the Tokico blues, from what I have been reading, is more of a "stock" shock, and won't do much at the dropped position the car is in.

Oops, so what to do now, except some Konis or Toki whites?
