    Help with Suspension

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    here is some info on my set up right now: My current set up is neuspeed sport springs, running on stock sport suspension shocks. only have about 20k miles on the car, and i just put on some wheels VMR v710s, et35. tire is general exclaim 235/35/19 and i have some rubbing in the back.

    I noticed that the back looks like it sits a bit lower than the front. is that normal?

    also, i noticed some pics here when i searched h&r that it seems to be a bit higher than neuspeed sports. do neuspeeds tend to sag over time? Besides trimming the fender liner, will changing to springs like h&r help out? thanks.

    ps...i have searched already. merry xmas

    Well my friend, H&R springs are supposed to drop 1.7F / 1.6R while Neuspeed springs are supposed to drop 2.0F / 2.0R. Neither spring should ever sag.

    While Neuspeed is lower than H&R, Neuspeed is also known for having a little reverse rake so that is normal that your rear is a tad lower.

    As for rubbing, check to see if there is a torx screw at the edge of the wheel well at the very top. I forgot if there is one back there (there is on the front) but remove that first to see if it fixes rubbing. I know other people are running similar setups so we'll see how they fixed rubbing issues before I start suggesting things
    Ignorance is bliss.

    there is no screw in the back like there is one in the front when i checked earlier today. Also as far as ride drop, i am running the neuspeed sports, which drop 1.5f/1.5r from stock suspension (non sport), which is less of a drop than h&r on paper. funny thing is that it i do have the reverse rake you talk about, and it looks like i am running race springs at times...looks lower than normal. i'll take pics tomorrow and post them
