That all depends on how often you turn all the way to lock, and how hard you corner. My 205/50R15 BFG Rivals on 15x7 ET42 wheels were getting fender rub on HARD corners w/MI springs and Tokico Blues. I changed crash bolts to get more negative camber and that fixed the outer rub, but now have to be careful when turning close to the limit--they rub on the inner metal part of the wheel well. I'm guessing though that these are cosmetic, and not performance-oriented mods for you?

well i would like it to be performance oriented, thats why i got the springs, but unfortunatley these are just the wheels i bought the car with.
i do like to drive hard sometimes and even slide around in the rain, im going for a go cart feel |

I would think that you will be ok. what is the offset of the wheels?

Nothing pertaining to rubbing or spacers can really be answered until you find out what offset the wheels are.
Remove one wheel and look on the back of it. There should be an ET stamp somewhere. A number which would probably be in the range of 38 to 42. Edit: I just checked the voxx site. They only show ET42 for the TU-3 17x7 with 4x100 bolt pattern.

17x7 +42mm should be just fine.
To get the real performance value from those springs, you're going to want Tokico shocks to go with them.

Yeah, I know, it's shameful!
I'd get the sway bar before the shocks. You'll get a few more miles out of your perfectly good stock shocks while you enjoy the sway bar for a while. Performance shocks will match a little stiffer damping with the stiffer springs you installed. Better combination, and something you'll definitely be able to feel when driving.

Would it be alright to use the factory shocks with performance springs?
Which spring would you recommend? Last edited by junorico24; 09-12-2013 at 09:03 PM. |

The swaybar is a smaller investment with more bang for the buck, and only takes a few minutes to install (if you have a breaker bar and a torque wrench). When you're ready for shocks, save up some extra cash and get the Tokico "reds". They have adjustable dampening so you can turn up/down the firmness of your ride depending on what you're doing. I went with blues because they were less expensive, but there isn't an autoX event that goes by where I second guess that choice. If you want/need a winter setup, you can also get the OEM parts to complete the front suspension assembly and make the whole spring/shock modular. Just be sure to get the right tools for removing your OEM springs--the tension on those things can REALLY injure you when they come loose. |
