Suspension Suspension recommendations
Suspension recommendations
I just installed new wheels and tires a few weeks ago (flush offset stock height), going over the sunk in divets in the road I get my rear end rubbing the fenders. Does anyone recommend any aftermarket suspension thats a little stiffer but not too harsh? Was thinking koni yellows. I believe they have adjustable dampening?
Compared to the stock setup, that is a pretty aggressive wheel fitment.

My suggestion is to add a bit of rear wheel camber to pull the top of the tire back under the fender. Stock camber setting is -1.5°. I would go to -2° on each side, which should help with the fender rubbing. As longa s the toe alignment stays in spec, tire wear shouldn't be affected. To balance out the rear camber change, do a search for adding front camber by removing the plastic button on the strut mount.
If you want firmer shocks, I would recommend Bilstein B6s with the stock springs.

Solid advice @njaremka
You can pickup adjustable control arms on amazon rather cheap, same exact ones upper and lower. Maxpeeding rod branded, built solid haven't had issues in years even with aggressive tracking.
Another note to the rear end trailing arm bracket / bushing bracket has some adjustment. Combined with adjustable control arms there is endless amounts of adjustment. I think there is 1/4" to 1/2" adjustment alone on the bracket. Simply loosen the bolts a bit and you can slide this bracket in and out. This will change the rear toe but combined with adjustable arms you can adjust that back out.
Best of luck

I replaced my rear adjustable upper control arms to help dial in the camber closer to spec. The right rear was about -2.3 (as good as he could get it), but he was able to get the left rear in spec to about - 1.4. He suggested I get the adjustable lowers. After driving it around for a couple months, I could hear one of the rear tires rubbing the plastic fender lip when compressed due to dips in the road. Well I'm glad I didn't buy those arms. The aftermarket 17" wheels offset pushed them out further than stock. So I went back and had him add more neg camber to the left rear. Oddly enough, the right rear came in to about -1.9. No more wheel rubbing, so I'm thrilled.
