It was slammed haha but I raised the fronts 1/2 an inch to stop it from rubbing. It was making full contact with the fender going up any slight drive ways.. It's on Tein Super Racing. Wondering if I should send the leaking one back to Tein for repairs..

do you have bump stops installed on the coilovers from allowing it not to bottom out on the coilover? also it should be normal if your that low and going up and down driveways to come in contact with your fenders, my car does the same. how bad is the leak? if u wipe it, does it come back right away? etc? i know some coilovers have slight leakage like the kw v3's is a common issue.

Not sure about the bump stops, I have to double check. The leak is not too bad it's manageable, but I'll probably look into fixing that soon. Any way to go up a drive way without messing up the fender? It was fine for months then one day it just messed it up.

Another question. I'm running 18x9 +68 rears and I need new tires soon. What size tires should I get?

some basic tips on steep driveways, keep your wheel straight & and go in at the max angle possible. im running 255's on my x9 in the rear, you can also run 245 etc depending on your setup

Thanks for the tip

are your rears rolled? Any rubbing? I'm pretty much slammed.

all 4 corners are rolled and slightly flared, no rubbing, 17x8.5 17x9 +40 offset 235/40 255/40

here is an idea of my fitment.
