Suspension/Coilovers/Stiffness

[AveoAmp]

ok i have H&Rs springs all the way around with 16x7 gunmetal Nexos. Not a problem with rubbing untill i put 25mm spacers on the back...the car looks sexy because now the wheels are even with the fenders in the fron and it the back and the back looks wider lower and phat. makes it look a hell lot better....buttt now the back rubs a bit...i need a way to stiffen up the back pronto but i cant spend 1000 on coilovers...i need some ideas please haha

thanks

Maybe try some spring spacer to lift it a bit stiffen it a bit . works like a spring lowering kit but in reverse.

thats an ideaa...hmm i think they sell those at advanced auto for like 20 bucks

that will raise the car though. you need to do one of two things. measure and roll the fenders accordingly.. or buy stiffer shocks (or put an addition into the stock bumpstops).

see what i was thinking was maybe i can put hard rubber rings inbetween a part of the spring so it cant compress all the way....just a rough idea but something like that....so it wont raise it but it'll keep it from goin down all the way

it will still compress, just somewhere else.

you need to add to your bump stops. making them higher / longer however you want to think of it, will stop the suspension travel sooner. hopefully before you rub.

Actually, if you could get the same length bump stops but in a harder rubber would be the best. The bumps stops are actually part of the suspension on most cars these days.

[petrified.rabbit]

that is true. harder would be better than longer.

our bump stops are just foam "stops" on the shaft of the rear shock.

yeah cause i mean i dont know what other ppl think but i would like my suspension to be really gocart stiff because i drift and stuff and if i rub then thats a problem ha
