I have used 3 different sets of springs, all of which rubbed. It isnt the springs that cause rubbing it is the offset. Even on smooth surfaces if pushed hard enough i can get the outside tires to rub.

I have the 17" Supperleggras, with stock springs. There are two corners in particular (very sharp turn, with elevation drop) where the tires rub. Other than that, no issues on the track or on the road.

Ah, and the two corners where I experience rubbing are usually being taken at 2-3x the posted suggested speed =)

that's your problem, your springs are too "soft"

i have the same springs as shamu with 18" wheels and have experienced no rubbing over 20,000 miles so far.......

EVERYONE, PLEASE REMEMBER - NOT ALL SPRINGS HAVE THE SAME RATES!!!!!!!!

I admit, after I installed Eibach I felt kind like on the boat. However I was not dare enough to think that Eibach would be worse and softer then stock... Does anybody have the same feeling or is it just me?

Frankly speaking, after all mods I did so far - 18''OZ/Pirelli Pzero, Eibach - I think that the best ride I had with stock wheels and tires...
