okedoke im looking to put on a set of H&R springs...what do i have to do off the bat to make sure the camber doesnt get too far outta wack?

 

Your camber won't get too far out of wack with the H&R's....they only lower the car 1.4". It's a very minor amount of negative camber in the rear...

But, If you wanna stick with stock camber settings, all you need is a set of rear control arms. These will allow you to set the rear camber back to stock camber settings.

Your front camber won't change....so there is no worry there

 

sounds good...im actually going to change the rear suspension here soon(sway bar,control arms,end links)...

 

I have just put H&R Springs on Coop. But I have noticed it lowered the rear little over and 1 inch, and the outside of my Goodyear Eagle F1s 215/45/17s are bumping the outside of my wheel wel. Do I just need to buy 1 set of rear control arms? or do I need to by upper and lower arms?

 

should just be the lower ones

 

Cool so just get 1 set of arms and ajust the lower rear control arms?

 

If you are rubbing (bumping the outside of the wheel well) already with negative camber......getting the control arms and returning back to stock camber settings will cause you to rub/bump MORE often.

 

Would love some advice on how to fix this problem, I should have gone back to 205/45/17's than the 215/45/17s?
This would have gave me a little more clearance on the ride heigth correct?

 

Yah, that would give you a bit more clearance.....you could go with smaller sidewall to help it as well 215/40/17.

You could trim the arch a little bit as well

 

Let me know if you need help putting the H&R's on.

 

Are you using something other than stock wheels. I had H&R springs with 38mm offset wheels and 215/40x17 with only slight rubbing in the rear inner wheel well. I trimmed the inner wheel well where it rubbed. Most wheels are more like 44mm offset which even gives more clearance than the 38mm that I had. The only real options are different wheels (more offset), smaller tires (215/40x17 should work with 40mm offset wheels with no rubbing), or a little trimming of the inner wheel well (should rub up inside the well where no one can see).

 

Nope I have just put a set of AXIS Reverbs on. I think I will sell the Goodyear Eagle F1 G3 DS tires that are 215/45/17 and get another set of 205/40/17s and put on there. I think that should give me enough clearmance.
You think that might help the situation?

 

I've got coilovers, 215/40's, 5mm spacers, Kosei K1 racing rims (7.5") w/ +45, and adj control arms and no rubbing...

 

I believe the reverbs are 42mm offset but are 7.5" wide instead of the stock 7". I suspect it is that 6mm of extra wheel width per side that is giving you the problem. To keep a wider tire, I suggest you go with 215/40x17 tire. There are a lot of good options in that size and you should not have any rubbing or only slight rubbing that can clearanced with a little dremel tool action to the inner wheel well.

 

im using a 17" R90 w 215/40/17

 

Thanks guys, If I can sell these new tires, I will just order the 205/40/17s and shave some edge off. Maybe that should help

 

Yellow's tires look awesome on those rims. I am going to get that same tire when it's time to replace mine. Shouldn't rub at all. And if it does a bit just cit the plastic back a bit.
