need to know who makes the sitffest shocks
as i have posted before i am having rubbing issues..my stock shocks seem to have way to much travel in them... the rebound on them is huge... i need a shock that pretty much has no travel..i don't care about ride quality....it also need to be useful with a 1.3 inch drop which is what is on my car.... i'm assuming adjustible shocks like konis may do the trick.... but i though i'd ask others... thanks!

is there anything i can due without changing the springs or wheels? the springs are only a 1.3 drop and i had 18's with 225/40/18 on the rear before with the drop with no rubbing... i figured i could elimanate most of the rubbing when i go over bumps and dips if i changed the travel of the shocks... my stock ones seem a little sloppy now. any help would be great

yeah i rub on just about any bump or quick little hill... and i rub hard... the black plastic around the wheels wheel has about an 8inch spot where i rubbed threw.... and it's only on the driver side...the passanger side rubs but not nearly as much or often.. even when i have a passanger in my side rubs way more than the other.... i'm thinking about the shocks and having the fenders rolled cause just by looking at it it looks like the rolled fenders will help out a ton.

What are your current alignment specs? You could add some more camber to help the tires clear the fender liner. The lower profile(shorter) tires would help as well. Just double check the tire dimensions on the tirerack website or the mfg website.

it takes a huge bump to rub in the front... very rare...i only rub in the back.... no i found that i rub really bad when i take a corner even a little hard... the body rolls to what ever side and rubs in the rear.
