Suspension gurus. What to get for......

[99GST]

18x8 inch wheels running 225/40/18 tires?
Which spring to get so that I am not rubbing in the rear. Right now, my front doesnt rub, and I currently have the Tanabe Sustec Pro Down springs.

Of course, I could always go with the Eibach Pro-kit, but that sits a little bit too high. Will the Neuspeed race springs 1.5" drop work? Any other suggestions, beside the Pro Kit and GC Coilovers?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Nathan

You can go as low as you want. Just the adjust camber so you don't rub.

Okay let me specify a bit more in saying that I will be using a camber kit and would like to keep my camber at a good degree to save my tires.

I think Eclipse 4x4 is running neuspeed sports and has a camber kit. Apparently he doesnt rub. So, I was looking for some other suggestions.

Thanks.

In that case you can lower 3" and still have 1" of travel before the tire hits the fender level.

And have good camber, without rubbing the fenders (on the outside). I dont think so. I am lowered around 2" now and it rubs.

Hmmm. I have less than an inch wheel gap and the tire never reaches fender level (I drive over a bump and get out and look at it that's how I know for sure). I don't know what to say. Maybe you need higher spring rates?

Perhaps. What are you spring rates? Or what spring rates should I be looking for?

I've had Eibach Pro Kits, Eibach Sportlines, and now Tein Flex coilovers. Never rubbed with any of them, and Eibach spring rates are really soft. The Tein spring rates I have now are 336 lb/in in the rear.

Are you sure it's rubbing? Your tires have fender marks?
