Guys,
I have a "bottoming out" problem.
I have P195 60 R15 tires on my rims and it seems that I can't
take passengers in my ride because the rear sidewalls rub up against the rear fenderwells. (make me mad!)
I got my struts replaced bout a year and a half ago and they seem pretty good still, bounce 1.25 times but still pretty good.
Maybe it's my springs?
How do I test those?
I read the thread on the 40mm offset, does that mean sidewall
height? I'm stupid when it comes to suspension.
What can I do to correct this w/o having to buy new 40mm sidewall tires or the offset thing? Would those spacers in the springs to stiffen the ride help or just say F it and replace these "good" tires w/ 40mm sidewalls or is it the rim?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
BTW, if I do buy 40mm sidewall tires, how low can I go to lowering? What about those damn control arms-would they get in the way?
Need someone or ppl with all the experience to help me out w/ this one!!
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE!!!!
-Mike
