Datsluv Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I was wondering if anyone has used the t3 coil overs on the rear. I picked some up a while back and finally got a chance to put them on but the problem I'm having with them is that the spring is rubbing. Their really isn't but a few things that can be done to solve this problem I just wanted to see if anyone has had this problem with coilovers and what was done to fix it. Pix would be very helpfull Quote Link to comment

I'm running 14x7+1 Ssr reverse mesh with plenty of clearance For some reason I was thinking the spring is on the inside of the tire No experience with rear coilovers here... between stuff like this, and "clunking" coilovers, I wonder why everyone decides to get rear coilovers. I suppose you could just turn the spring and essentially move where the coils are, but I wouldn't be surprised if they rub a little bit when you hit bumps or do anything to compress the spring.
