Default suspension setup: tokico HP's with Eibach springs

I was wondering if anyone was using this combo. i just put them on my crx w/b16 swap and the wheels rub a little and its mad slammed. i was going to get into auto x and it seems i cant with the rub. just wondering what you all are doing to negate this problem. thanks.

what wheel/tire are you using?

you can always jsut remove the inner fender liner if thats causing the rub.

and its not good for handling performance to be so low anyway.

and i dont ever recommend anyone buy tokico HP blues. its not worth the money. spend the extra on illuminas, the build quality is much better.

if you insist on running low, get extended top hats to regain your missing shock travel.

its not that i insist running low, the shocks arent adjustable so i kinda have to. lol. now there is a weird knocking whenever im off the throttle. it seems to knock once per rotation of the wheel. i can feel it on the pedals and it sounds like its hitting the floor.

youve got a loose balljoint or loose lugnut or something. check your lugnuts at the least.

top hats wont change your ride height. they just give you back some shock travel so you dont bottom out the shock.

actually i take it back. i just realized that you are running regular drop springs. it wont work quite well. its designed to be used with race springs, like on "coilovers". sorry about that.

maybe thats what you can do. is get some adjustable springs. then you can get the top hats.
