Suspension suggestions?

[XTremeCorolla]

I love my new rims, I got BSA 233's in 17" on 205/40's. But now my rear is scrubbin when I hot dips in the road. Any suggestions on what suspension to replace the stock with?
I prefer something adjustable, if there are any good ones out?

Sounds nice man, post some pics up of them.

Ok to answer your questions...

first, I would suggest rolling the back fenders. Just take off the wheels, take a rubber mallet and bang the fender lip up. That will definatly help a lot with the rubbing.

second, Ground control coilovers are adjustable so go with something like that and upgrades struts like tokico's

Hope it helps.

Thanks, I was considering between Tokico and Tien, what about the TRD springs?

[SyNfuLRoLLa]

tokico arent springs, they are struts.

Tein are nice springs and so are trd, it all depends on what kind of a drop you want. Springs arent adjustable. They just settle. Coilovers usually adjust from 0-4" drop


Oh btw, to quote someone hit the quote button in their post.

Yeah I knew springs weren't adjustable, I'm looking for around a 1" drop.
I have seen that the TRD drop it 1.3" which may work.
Thanks for the posting help.

[SyNfuLRoLLa]

Yeah TRD would be your best bet then. Im most likely gonna be getting the trd if i dont get coilovers. I cant slam my car cuz of the kit lol

[XTremeCorolla]

Should I wait until I put my kit on the car?
I am going to attempt to use the front clip of a 2k Lexus IS300. Have you heard if anyone has done this yet?

[SyNfuLRoLLa]

Nope i havent heard of anyone doin that. Its a cool idea. Good luck on that conversion if u do it!  :twisted:

if the wheels are rubbing agains the outside of the wheel wells your problem isn't going to be resolved by getting new springs or coilovers..you got the wrong offset on your wheels it's too high. DO your wheels sit inside or outside the wheel wells?
