Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension Eibach springs, ST24/200 struts and 225/35/19's

I recently bought a set of 19" Axis NE-O's rapped in 225/35/19 Yokahama Prada's. I also bought a set of ST24/2000 struts and a set of eibach springs. Because of shipping problems i got them later than the wheels so I went ahead and installed the wheels. Now when I have more than one person in the back seat the back tires scrub when I hit hard bumps. My question is if I drop my car with the eibach pro's will my car scrub constantly or will the springs be stiff enough to prevent scrubbing. i just wanted to know so i won't be wasting my time. I'f somebody can help me out I would appreciate it I'm a new CEG'er so I need all the help I can get.

99 Black SE

dude i got the same exact prob and i havent done my drop yet either so im kinda curious to see what everyone says.my back right one is the one that mainly scubs though

I am runnin 19x8 7 mods w/eibachs and unless I have a full load I dont rub. I also have 4 10s in the trunk and rubbing isnt a big problem. But I am runnin 215/35 rubber.

I am running 19 axis 7 mod with koni and H&R and there is no problem even with people sit on the back
but I used 215/35 tires
may be the 225/35 too wide

I agree, I recently dropped my 98 SE with the H&R's and the result is about 1.75"/1.5" drop F/R. This is with stock wheel and tires. The ride is firmer and I hear little more squeaks and rattles. But there is little lean or pitch!

Not trying to be an ass, but do a search. That's what it's there for...

What you'll find is that you probably need to cut out a few sections of the fender liner, as this is where it's probably rubbing. you should be able to jack the car up and visually spot exactly where the tires are rubbing. AND, there's a small section around the rear fenders that is rubbing, too. As Pascal once explained, feel the fender well lip at about twelve o'clock, then work your way towards the rear of the car. At about where the rear bumper cover attaches, there is a spot that sticks out a bit further. Check here, too.


BTW, I'm also running 19x8 Axis 7 Mod with 225/35/19 Nittos, Ground Controls sitting very low, and Koni 5 ways with no rubbing in rear, even with full load. I do have a slight bit of rubbing in the front, but that's because the car is so low. (The price you pay for the look...)

I would say go for the drop and cut your fenders...you'll have 1/4" to 1/2" more of space! Rubbing will not be a problem anymore and what a look you'll got

Search whore! If we all searched there would be no reason to post!!

PLEASE tell me where you got those Axis NE-O 19's. I can't find the 4 X 108mm bolt pattern anywhere. Give me a link or some advise or something. PLEASE! I know I'm off topic but I just need to know where!
