i just got her H&R sport springs and the tires my girl has are 205/40/17 and the car is real low, when we are on the highway and hit a hump you can hear it scrape sometimes and i was wondering when i go to put on her winter tires which are the stock wheels for the 98 teg if they are gonna fit, does she need new shocks or what? thanks.....

 

did u make sure the front springs are in the front , and the rear are in the rear..the spring rate for the front is totally different than the rear because of the weight of the engine..

*Also I have sports on my rims and is no where near to rubbing, check ur install again*

 

That's wrong. H&R Sports are the same rates front and rear (276 lbs/in). How low is it? I've never scraped on the highway with Sports. You sure it's not rubbing rather than scraping?

ohh my badd..thnx for correcting me

 

i guess it rubs, i dont really know the difference though, its only for a second when she hits a hump, but i had a shop install them but yall say the front and rear are the same so.......

 

Roll your fenders

 

I dont think its scraping either...unless you have some low sitting header in there or something. It's probably the splash guards rubbing against the wheel tires.

 

u can check to see if there's anything in the way of ur upper arm. i had to shave a bit of the upper arm off when i got my car lowered. now no more scraping noise everytime i hit a small dip.

Yeah, I bet it's the mud flaps that are scraping, check them out and see if they are worn out from scraping....

 

hmm mudflaps is a good idea.

get some 16's instead while you're at it!

 

the stock rims would fit. The shocks would be fine, i have the same set up, i just went out and bought some rubber spacers, it raised the car like 1/4 inch so when i hit bumps it doesn't rub or scrape.
