    alright so i had the h&r spring's on my car and the front wheels have spacers . well i took the springs off because it would scrape like crazy. i love the way the drop looked so im wondering if i buy the bilstein struts. will this resolve the issue

    What do you mean by "...the front wheels are staggered."?

    Re: questions about dropping (lowering)

    gotta be a little more specific. Did it scrape while turning, hitting bumps going straight of turning, or all the time? Members can help more if you provide more detail. Please include what wheel and tire size w/ offset.

    it wasn't really scraping it was rubbing. I'm guess it would be the inner fender

    Re: questions about dropping (lowering)

    j3sus chr!st learn english!!!!! im confused as to why your running spacers on your front wheels!? do your self a favor...take the spacers off...level out your car and buy some coilovers. That way you can ajust it to your exact liking, with no problems at all.

    Re: questions about dropping (lowering)

    get a camber kit..
    if youre really rubbing on the inside, its because its unbalanced..instead of buying a whole new setup..the camber kit should fix it..
