Default Suspension advice

I've got a problem and i really want to take care of it. I've been told it could be my camber bolts but am not sure. My rear right tire will rub if i've got four people in the car, or three if the third is sitting behind shotgun. Will stiffer springs help this? If so, which is are the best springs for good lowering as well as being stiffer?


p.s- sorry if this should b in the suspension section but i thought i'd ask in the mwsoc first

That definatly souldn't rub. Do you have somthing larger than the stock wheel/tire? If that is too big it could be your problem. You should check you ride hieght and remove the wheel and check for broken or damaged parts. Any suspension mods?

^^^ any suspension mods?

your car sounds like mine, I'm about to adjust the cusco coilover height setting AGAIN to prevent rubbing, fender roll is in my future.

like the man said, check the tire size, confirm the presence/absence of mods, post up again.

You're on stock suspension and you're rubbing?

Some questions you need to answer for us:

1) What offset wheel are you running?
2) Where exactly is it rubbing? I'm assuming on the inner fender and not the strut or spring area.
3) Have you gotten an alignment on your car?
4) What size tyres are you running?

I'm thinking your offset is pretty shallow and that's what's causing the rubbing when loaded.

I'm guessing you're running like an 18x8? An 18x7 or 18x7.5 shouldn't rub if you're running less than a 245 tire.

Are you rubbing in a straight line or in turns? If you're rubbing in a straight line then you just need to tell the person in the back to go on a diet.
