    Really informative
    Im currently running an 18x9.5 +38 with a 265/35 on eibach springs.
    Only rubs when I hit hard dips but I wanna eventually wanna go coils just to go a little lower and have a more stiff ride but also, keep same wheel/tire setup. Loving the content 👌🏼

      @@Somchine13 in my opinion they are significantly better than an aftermarket spring and OEM shock combo unless you drive in +R all of the time. I like being able to use comfort and other modes without getting that floaty feeling in the suspension. It is on the stiffer side but still great for daily driving. My car is my daily/ family car

    Very helpful! Thanks! Running 18x9.5+38 w/Michelin PS4S 265/35. Getting some coils soon and been worried about rubbing and how low I could go. Thanks for sharing that info, I feel much better with this setup.

      @@5008474 There was practically no rubbing when driving solo. I didn't have a fully loaded car (3 passenger + 1 driver), so I can't speak to that. The only time it would rub was while on the highway at speed (70-80mph) and hitting a dip. The front would rub briefly, it was the bolt/screw on the front fender. Zero damage from rubbing. It happened about 6-8 times since there was a specific stretch of highway that had that big drop.
      Now I'm on RSR Coils, but I got my fenders trimmed, which I'd recommend if you do lower your car with this setup. It can be done extremely clean and I've had zero rubbing since even with a 1.5 inch drop.

I bought my type r to have a hood daily but can’t drive around looking like a Monster truck !!! I don’t plan on going with engine mods or a Tune.

    Good information to know. I have had Swift springs I have yet to installed because I'm on 18x9.5+38 255/40 Advan apex v601 and afraid I was gonna rub like crazy. Probably bend the tab and go from there. I don't wanna go 265/35 if I don't have to because I'm barely 4k miles on my tires

    When you change the front springs do you disconnect the ball joint or do the spoon method. Btw Im running Falcon RT660 in 275/35/18 which are wider than the previous setup of Conti DW06 285/35/18 with clearance mods of course. RT660 are more square at the edge.

    I'd really like to hear about maintaining the scrub radius. Honda did brilliant engineering to eliminate torque steer, and scrub has something to do with that. It seems like keeping the offset near where Honda put it would maintain the stock scrub. With a 9.5" rim would an offset of 48 do the job? And assuming you couldn't get that offset would spacers work? Do you think that would that fly with 265s, as far as rubbing. And do springs affect the scrub too? Good luck with the channel.

      @anthonypilpa7586  2 года назад

      Hey Tom even with aggressive offsets I don’t seem to have any issues with torque steer. I wouldn’t really worry about changing to that kinda offset. If you do wanna play it on the safer side you can run the 18x9.5 +45 or +38 with a 265/35

I'm worried that it's not hub centric anymore and if i track it like that it will be on the bolts only... back is OK - no issue.
