car is a 95 gsr with eibach sportlines(1.8 inch drop) eibach allignment/camber kit , and tokico blue gas shocks. My problem is that the sidewall on the tires in back are always rubbing on the inside of the fenders, when i turn hard or accelerate

I'm thinking that maybe the shocks just plain suck and i need to upgrade to some koni yellows and make them stiffer. im just looking for people to throw some ideas out at me. heres what im thinking......( by the way , i have 2 to 3 fingers of clearance in back for each tire and none in front and the back only rubs, so i dont get it


keep the springs and just get some koni yellows and stiffen them?
get some tein ss and sell my springs? ive heard good and bad things about tein
i personally like the ride height on my car and i just dont want it to rub when i turn hard or have a passenger in the car and basically do anything. any help is appreciated THANKS

 

sounds like your camber kits are pushing the tire out too far.

for the springs you have you dont even need camber kits.

 

What size wheel/tire are you running and what is the offset of the wheel?

 

they are 16 inch 42mm offset, adn im using 215/45s the reason is becuase thats all i could get by falken in 16, yeah i agree on the camber kit thing, but i have no idea how to remove it. my point is that i have some wheel gap in back and even if the tires are kinda wide it shouldnt rub if i had stiffer shocks right?

 

I asume the tire is rubbing on the outside (outer fender well) and not the inside. What I would do is to take the strut out. Then move the suspension w/tire and wheel installed through its entire range of motion. This will allow you to test whatever solution will work. As understand it the offset should be 45 mm. Remove the camber kit and see if it rubbs then. Stiffer shocks/springs will not solve the problem as some time you will load the suspension enough (over the top of a steep hill with a quick drop off (read that getting airborne) and the down the other side. The bump stop is the only true limiter of suspension travel. Don't depend on stiffer suspension to limit the travel.

 

thanks, im gonna see if i can have the camber kit in back removed somehow and probably sell all my suspension and go wtih tein or apexi something in the range of 1000 or less any ideas? which ones are good?

 

When I had my camber kit installed on my CRX, my back tires rubbed just like yours when I took a turn. I adjusted the rear camber kit to give it a little negative camber, and I've had no rubbing since. I would try adjusting the camber first before you remove the entire kit.

 

try rolling your fenders first, that might possibly solve the problem, but i'm not exactly sure especially with 215's, try that first, its pretty easy to do, before you go out and get the car realigned again..
